I think it is an optical illusion .My photo was taken from roughly between the red Vehicles in Johns picture and the dark coloured block in the foreground. My photo shows the last 5 roof lights at the left.

This one threw me.  I looked at Headcorn Hanger and the current roof window arrangement seems different.  In Grandrog's photo there appears to be a block of three windows then a gap followed by another block of three.  If you look at the current Google view the arrangement is different.  Has it been re-roofed at some point? - or perhaps I can't count :D

Thanks Local Hiker. New I had seen it .
Thought someone might have done it up like Rides Mill.
Knowing where you live helped.


Lets see how long this one lasts . Photo taken about 5 years ago

In that case I will take this one.

I didnt take the last one asThe Headcorn Baptist Churchyard is the resting place of my Maternal Grandparents ,Several aunts and Uncles and my dear cousin Audrey. Audrey's ashes were sent over to me from Canada to be scattered on her mothers grave there. We had a lovely little ceremony conducted by David one of the Deacons and his lovely wife Doris who provided refreshments.
