Clue:  Water nearby


As a mariner I know it more for the back entrance. :) . I'll dive in tomorrow if no one gets there first.

Well I'd guess a conservation zone since there is no large pub sign.  Canterbury?  The brickwork is pre-1900, but there's something odd.  It looks as though it is double thickness, but then the windows make me think the building could be much older, older than the Georgian facade.


Not Canterbury MartinR


I've just checked on GSV and in the latest view the pub name is in fairly unobtrusive black letters under the top windows.
The building is a Grade 1 listed and
can be dated to 1797.  It has had various names over the years.

Thanks Lutonman.  I was helped by the earlier confirmation that it was in Medway.  An interesting history.




Next one.   I don't think I've used this one before.


I think at least one of our members has had a pint or two in here.   :D

@Diapason, 2 Timothy is New Testament so would not appear on a Synagogue!

Assuming its somewhere in Medway! Only clue's I can find  is the red brick and the religious quote.
Guess :- Is it the Foundation stone for Christ the King Church you wrote about.?

The Chatham Synagogue?


Bit of a wild guess, as the red brickwork is completely out of character with the Synagogue.
