Thanks JohnFilmer


I went too far east to start with and ended up in Thanet, but then remembered passing a couple of big homes in Herne Bay many years ago.  I knew nothing of them until searching for this GTP - interesting as I never think of Herne Bay as having such large properties.


Next one - should be an easy one ...

Right type of establishment, but it was far to the east.

Not educational. But there are staff, and others.

Like JW I am running low on instantly available photos. I had thought to go take a few, but it has been persistently hissing down, so that didn't happen.
However, try this one. Luckily I enlarged it after scanning it in, only to find the location on a board in front of everyone. So that has been blanked out. I had spent a little while researching where it was, amazingly the board and I agree! Not sure of date, 1930s I suspect.
North Kent.
