The business that is was the office for closed some years back.  The business had been in existence for around 200 years.

I don`t know how you do it, JW !!


My Mum and Dad were married there and I was christened there.


Over to you.


I don't get out much  ;D ;D ;D .   I must admit that I really enjoy the hunt and learn quite a bit along the way.  It was the only church I could find in Sittingbourne that didn't look ancient.


Next one.  Can be seen on GSV.

Does anyone remember this church which was demolished by Hitler?


It was rebuilt in exactly the same position soon after WW2 ended.

From Hastead's History, volume 6: Tunstall
Quote
PITSTOCK, usually called Pistock, is a small manor, situated in the south east part of this parish[Tunstall], adjoining to Rodmersham, which name has been for some years changed to that of Woodstock, by the present owner of it, as being of a more genteel sound.

Woodstock Manor. Derelict since before WW2,.As kids we all played in and around the house and Park.
 Civil Defence used it for training after the War .All the floors were knocked out in the south wing (which is the photo..) for rescue practice.


Your turn Diapason.
