Guess the Place

I'll stand back on this one Pete.  I have the same photo in my family tree but I'm not giving any clues away   .

Thanks JW,  try this one

[John Walker]

Well done Pete


Lots on interest about this pub.  Hope to visit some next year.


Over to you ...

Cat & Custard Pot Paddlesworth . How many pubs have got a bomb outside?  http://www.dover-kent.com/Cat-and-Custard-Pot-Paddlesworth.html

Wrong end of the county Diapason


You are on the right lines Pete

I am amazed at the name of villages - that appear from time to time - latest - Paddlesworth. ?
I must get out more - after ? - But did you know there was another Paddlesworth in Kent.
Situated near Snodland - 6+ miles from Rochester ?

Biggin Hill  -  "The Old Jail" or "The Aperfield Inn" seem to fit the clues.

Mayfly Hawkinge?

Hi DTT - Yes it's a subtle clue but not fox hunting use of the phrase.  This pub does have a rather unusual name and of course the WW2 connection is important.
Chocks away!

[DaveTheTrain]

Is that a  clue, JW?  If so is it something like the hare and hounds, or Huntsman?  No idea of location, however.

[John Walker]

The story goes that it was originally named The Red Lion.

Diapason, not Dartford - wrong end of county.




Has WW2 connections.

Sorry about that John Walker, i guess you fell into the 'old ruined churches and chapels of Kent and double named villages' trap that we all do at some time.


Seems your next one follows a similar tradition of the double named villages?

[Diapason]

The Hufflers Arms, Dartford?

[John Walker]

Thanks CAT - a very interesting one and not easy to find.  The church at Paddlesworth fitted your clues quite well with the exception of being near water.  Had connections with Dode and there's a Paddlesworth both ends of the county and the church is similar.  I thought I'd cracked it with that one
