Rochester 1912.
This image shows the unveiling of a plaque to commemorate the death of Percy Henry Gordon, who died whilst rescuing a girl from drowning in the nearby River Medway.

Sorry for delay folks, I do picture postings on this laptop as the iPad is hopeless (read that as I havn't a clue how to do it...) and herself was on a Zoom meeting yesterday evening. The joys of Sainsburys this morning, and here we are.
One of those 6" to mile OS map clues of a small village with everything there, School, Pub, Church, Vicarage and Church Farm.
Simple, but where? All the names of these features have been left on to help.
