Diapasson. Yes it is a Rural Churchyard wall on left.  You are not a million miles away with your Lynsted Guess. Move west a bit.

I have only a vague recollection of seeing this one on the old forum.


My immediate guess would be near the stone wall of Lynsted church where the damage still awaits repair. I think the damage at Lynsted occurred after the old forum closed. The dates of the two incidents don`t seem to tally. But it`s worth a guess.

If that’s a churchyard wall on the left, then I think you may have shared it before.

I may have posted this on the old forum.


Where did this accident occur?

Well done Grandarog  :)  . That was quick.


I knew it as Wye College of Agriculture.  Rumour had it that very interesting young ladies attended.   Later it was called Imperial College of London.


Now derelict or demolished.   (Photo from '28 Days Later' Urban Exploration Group)

That,s the old Government Agriculture offices site at Wye. Has a great long brick wall arround the site.
I don,t know if they are still there or have been demolished for development.


Update:-Agricultural Development Advisory Service.Offices planning apps in at Ashford Council for redevelopment.

Thanks Shoot999.  When I first saw your photo, I thought it might be the cafe near Bluewater which I believe was also a 60s bikers hang-out.


Next One ...

It looks like one of the motorcycle meet-up cafes from the 60s.


Possibly this one Johnson's Cafe at West Kingsdown - although the window count is different?


Spot on John. That was quick! The windows were reconfigured and chimneys removed  a while back. Currently a Chartered Accountants.  Over to you.

Cant remember exactly where it was but it was a Greasy Spoon Cafe in the old days somewhere near Brands hatch.
Sure someone can pinpoint it. :)

Thank you John.  I suspect like quite a few others on here who play regularly I am restricted by the number of GTP pics I can muster to post myself. So thank you and the other  posters who keep us supplied with the goods.


Think if this one doesn't go quickly it'll need a fair few clues.

The Opera House, Tunbridge Wells. A pub.


You have it Shoot999 - The Wetherspoon Pub.  Great to see these old buildings saved.
