A railway line runs nearby, and as is quite common, the nearest station is named for one village, but technically is in another.

I reckon it could me my old Sunday night drinking pub, the Horseshoes in Dean Street, East Farliegh.   


It has been much extended out the back, and the chimney has gone but I reckon it could be it.

Still hovering near, but not right yet KeithG.

It is alleged to be 17th Century. The configuration of windows and chimneys on the main building looks to have stayed constant, with a new door added between the two ground floor left hand windows.

Again, quite close KeithG. You and JW are both in the right general area.

Quite close JW, but at the moment anywhere too close to Yalding would be under water rather than next to it!

Sorry about that MartinR but it's such a distinctive building that I knew it straight away. I must investigate Lambert Mews, as the yard through the opening was then Avenue Engineering (Boss Ted Lambert) during my time working there. The Dixonheat offices were best described as ramshackle, and the wall to the left hand side was painted ragstone internally, slightly damp and paint always flaking away.
Happy days though, a good office atmosphere (unless the drains were blocked!) and I met my wife there, she lived along the Holborough Road, and here we are 43years later cooking Xmas dinner together.
Anyway - next one. This is still a pub, though slightly altered. Photo taken in 1938, the ladies are my Grandmother, her sister and her neice who were both over from South Africe on a visit. Mid Kent, on a B road, and near water (but not next to it).

Queens Avenue, Snodland. Was the old public bathhouse.


I worked next door at 23 when it was Dixonheat 1972-80 and it was still in use then, I think.

A nice two parter here.  Where is it, and what was it originally?
