Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Just into pure guesswork now as I don't know the area that well - especially not 40 years ago.


Chatham Dockyard, St Mary's Island?

Not the refinery, but the right river.

Grain Oil refinery?

Assumed this would go quickly as these were well known structures about 40 years ago and featured a number of times on the old site. John Walker's guess isn't far off.
Having just checked the location again it is not surprisingly just another housing estate.

Shoot999 - ref: your GTP - anything to do with Thames Port ?

Not Thames Port John, but you are thinking along the right lines.

It was my wife's ancestors. Jeffrey and Amos Mercer that were Beer Sellers and Landlords of the Peacock in the 19th Century.
PEACOCK Pub of Iden Green (dover-kent.com)

Interesting pub.  Will mean more to me next time I call in.

I don't think this one will need any clues.

It wasn’t me Guv, it was Grandarog wot said he had history there...

Whoops - I've gone and done it again - sorry.   Have corrected my error.

Spot on Shoot999.  I nice old pub which I have called in to on a few occasions. 


I don't have any history on The Peacock but perhaps Grandarog has some.

Nice hotel at the top of the hill in the nearby village.
