Apologies if I'm getting later at doing the locations but I'm finding sitting at the computer increasingly uncomfortable, so need to do things in short bursts.

Go south from Hoo, to the very edge of Medway. Maidstone  creeps up to surprise many.

Well that's me rumbled - I stole the image from there grandarog! I was looking for something else, but found that first, and in a hurry to get something other than a bus shelter as a clue...

This is a poor picture of somewhere that I would like to know more about. It was demolished about 1885 so street view is no use!

Generally Medway area.

Thank you grandarog, I'll put up the next one tomorrow.

My grandfather's uncle was the saddler and harness maker in Chilham at the start of the 20th century. Walter Clements is buried in the churchyard, and the house facing the square, backing onto the Church is called Clements Cottage. His father was also a Saddler and was born in Doddington a few hundred yards from where I live now. He was trained by the local saddler before setting up on his own, first in Minster, Sheppey, then in Butchery Lane, Canterbury.

Small world...

It’s usually a popular place for a guess.
