I think you are meaning the big one by the VOR array that can be seen from the road.
This one is on the airfield, in the woods over the back near the old control bunker.
You have it as you are probably the only pillbox spotter on here.
Over to you for the next Poser. :)

Detling Hill I think, near the VOR antenna.

Thanks Cat. I don't know how many of the Military buffs have come over from the old Forum .This wouldn't last long back then.
Rough position will do .

However, grandarog, it is Ightham Mote. This is the chimney suite on the southeast corner of the house most of which furnished the former kitchen range.

Sadly Invicta Alec it's not Knole House, but your heading in the right direction

Sorry to all for the delay. Work life very busy.


I agree with all that a factory can be made to look interesting, this being one of the best looking traditional ones I know. However, the building in the process of being built next door is not so good, though it is only half constructed. Lets hope it follows suit and made to blend, or at least not be a metal clad box.


Regardless, where is this fine suite of chimneys?

It's nice to know that with a little effort this sort of thing can still be done, and that modern buildings - even industrial ones - don't have to be an assault on the eyeballs.

Just as an aside John - are you saying that this is a fairly modern building?


Yes.  It has a retro outer shell but inside it's a ultra modern factory.  It looks quite impressive as you drive past.

That's the place CAT.   Although not particularly historical, I like the retro design of the building as against the unsightly modern metal sided buildings that seem the norm now.


They produce decorative fretwork panels and furniture.  All very high-tech machinery.


Over to you CAT  :)

Is it the small light industrial complex just off Church Lane in Barham? I think it is a furniture manufacturers called Jali?
