The big Factory building that used to stand at the top of Canterbury Street. Demolished a few years ago.


This building is still there as far as I know. At least on GSV in 2019! 


You are very close

Somewhere on Gillingham Business Park?


Not the Business Park or any industrial area. Residential and situated on a reasonably busy road.

Not Foremans Road.  (Is there a Foremans Road in Gillingham?)



It was just a guess as CAV seemed to be the company we were looking for at the time.  They had an operation in a Foremans Road - possibly not Medway though
.

To clarify, you don't need the name of the company if you know the location. The well known company no longer operates out of this particular site.

Gillingham. But not Lucas/CAV.  And given the GTP is a similar operation, if you guess the company I will need the location of the actual branch.

Not Strood, but that part of Kent.


Were CAV in Strood? I remember dad working for them along the Esplanade in Rochester.


May be wrong on CAV, I thought they were on Priory Rd Strood towards the Darnley Rd, Cuxton Rd junctions, just before the raileay bridge

Spot on, shoot999!


Shoot999, I was there after Xmas. It looks quite different...

I took this photo at least 5 years ago.


I must get out with my camera - all my offerings are being guessed immediately. I thought this one would have lasted bit longer.







Got it just by chance as I was familiar with the area 50 years ago. And I think with Covid we are all getting a bit short on GTP pics to choose from.


Hence my next offering   ;D
