JW That building has intrigued me in recent years, unfortunately I can't remember it from the late 60s when I used to go to Bapchild quite frequently.
Anyway here's an old mill by a pond, but which mill?

That was quick JohnFilmer.  I used it too soon perhaps.  Yes I came across it while looking for your post box GTP.


Over to you again :)

That’s Bapchild. I very nearly used it myself a while ago.


I presume that you found it looking for my Ospringe post box.

Thanks Diapson.  That was a lucky guess but I remembered there being a Laundrey Road in Minster.  Great photo of the horse drawn wagon.  I hope they managed to dig the horse out ok   ;) .


Next one .....

Yes! The old Minster Steam Laundry, now long-gone. My Granddad was the engineer there.
Did you spot the horse drawn wagon in the photo?
Here it is on Ramsgate beach in a very sorry state  -  one of granddad`s photos.

It's got a twin then, check it on google images, only the mansard roof differs. Perhaps same company?

I genuinely believed that John Walker had this one as, although using the railway many times, I still cannot recall the tunnel entrance.
 
Here`s one of a building that no longer exists but, having a family connection, I visited the building, a few years ago, which now stands on the site and was allowed to take a photo of a framed picture which I was shown .....

... and shamefully I went to school within a stone's throw from here.  But I had it my mind that it was elsewhere on the island!
