I think Kennington Garage and Crouch`s Garage are one and the same. So I think the next GTP is yours, granderog.

That,s the old Crouch's Garage on Church Road Ashford . Must have been 3 or 4 years since it closed.

Sorry for the short delay, chaps.  A small weather-related issue tonight.  Our shopping was due to be delivered tonight, but Sainsbury's called to say "no can do, bad weather"... and so we had to go and collect.  Anyway, back now.


Where was/is this Garage.  Sadly, I think it has closed down now, but it is a large and airy building.

shoot. Thanks for the web address for the Plaza. Many happy hours there, especially watching cowboy films in the late 30's.

It is, formerly Lady Hamilton and Ship . From the design it looks to have been a 1930s Whitbread road house, built for the coach trip trade

The Aviator, Queenborough.   It took a few mins, but I knew I had been in there!

For this one, either it's current name or either of it's former names

Plaza, Duncan Rd Gillingham?


You have it Pete. A somewhat down market cinema that was turned into a TV studio and a few other things before being demolished. Over to you.

The WW2 Memorial from the Kemsley Arms is this one now in the Church at Milton.

Thanks for your correction, granderog!
I have very many photos of the interior of Holy Trinity and the one I posted was the only memorial I could find, so it was a complete guess.

There was a theatre on the road between Chatham Town Hall and Brompton but I cannot remember the name. Am I `barking up the wrong tree?

I seem to remember it being mentioned on the `old forum`.

Not the Empire. But within the Medway Towns
