Sorry, thread hijack.  There may be a problem with postings.  I've twice tried to post to the Chatham Intra Synagogue thread and it just hangs for a hour or two, then tells me I've alread posted the message, even though it never gets through.


Just posted there myself with no issues. Try again?

Is that the High Street you speak of between the railings and the front of the house? Or is the High Street the photographers side of the railings?

The building looks like it's seen better days. Is it still standing?

Thank you for that John Walker......i didn`t really latch on until i thought of WW1, went down Remembrance Road on GSV and there it was in front of me.


Next one is what is this house called and what did it`s owner do?

That's the place KeithG - Called The Custom House

Well worth a visit to the renovated Harbour Station and Arm.  Good to see it rescued.  I thought it was going to be completely demolished at one point.


Very popular on sunny days

The clues:

Sadnesses -
1. The troops going to the trenches in WW1 from the station and harbour arm.
2. Refugees arriving there with nothing but pieces of carpet to keep them warm.  they were called The Rug People and there is a statue/memorial to them between the platforms.
3. The loss of steam trains heading into the station.

Over to you
