One of my Sons lives near that building. Lots of left footers go there.

Just followed your clue and scouted around on Google maps. Dover looks a lot more interesting than I expected, must give it a proper visit.

I thought exactly the same. The area seemed quite pretty and I had never given Dover any thought that it may have some attractive corners.  There seemed to  a nice pub just around the corner from the Mill that would warrant a visit I think.

Right river - wrong mill.  :)

Interesting Martin.  I didn't know that Methodist Ministers had to move about so often.

Next one ...

Goes with Dad's job, a Methodist minister.  Prior to the 1960s the typical stay was four years, and before the war only two years.  It meant that my parents bought their first house when Dad retired, manses are "tied cottages" in law and if he had have died we would have had to get out before the following September.

Thanks for all the info Martin.  Always good to learn new things. 
You've certainly moved about a bit - I still live under half a mile from where I was born!

Next one up shortly.
