A bit too random grandarog, needs to be north of M20.

Go ESE (ish) a few miles-other measures of distance are available.

I even went to a couple of “Do’s” in the old village hall opposite, and walked up through there with a girlfriend who lived in Park Drive. No wonder it looked familiar.

I knew it was familiar… Tunstall House, Tunstall.

Must have driven past it thousands of times.

MartinR is correct in that the postcard image is indeed the 1906 Election (see below)

They're not the same photo though.  There are far more people in the original posting, as well as the board.  There's a clock in the 1910 photo but not the the other, the people at the window are different, as is the man standing on Rowe's balcony.

At least we now know it was an Election for Parliament result celebration.

Here's the next one much less complicated . Where would you see this view?
