I was pretty sure that I had looked at it on GSV during a GTP hunt at some point, and being brick, not stone, it lodged in the memory.
This photo was taken probably early 1930s. Probably easy.

Evidently, my modern pic shows it from the inside and not the exterior as this one for comparison with my original early nineteenth century view

Not Leeds Castle John Walker, or Chiddingstone Castle. The pic was a little misleading as it gives the impression of this gateway as being built of stone, but it is in fact the main gateway into Lullingstone Castle. This is noted as being 'Grade I listed building. Main construction periods 1550-1599. The extant outer gatehouse of Lullingstone Castle. Originally believed to have been built in the early 16th century, it now seems that it may have been built earlier in 1497 by Sir John Peche as part of his new house. The southwest turret was rebuilt in the 1960s after being damaged in WWII. The gatehouse is brick built and rectangular in plan polygonal turrets attached to the outer face. There is machicolation and castellated parapet around the whole gatehouse. The outer side faces west and has a four centred carriage archway which retains its original ribbed double 20 panel doors. The inner side had a similar moulded archway'

I think its over too you johnfilmer

Reckon it's Chiddingstone castle with a bit of Artistic licence. :)

No luck so far.  It's similar to Leeds Castle but not sure.

Apologies for the delay.


Stevenson Brothers workshop is a welcome journey milestone when returning to Canterbury from West Kent for me.


My next is clearly a castle gateway, but where?

If that's the case then it must be the workshop of Stevenson Brothers, Rocking Horse manufacturers at Ashford Road, Bethersden?


That's the place CAT.     51.12690079849638, 0.7550489084515422

There is a rocking horse on the roof which you see as you approach.


The 'rare' stuff clue =  As rare as rocking horse s**t.   ;D


Princess Anne paid a visit there.

An antique shop?


Not an antique shop CAT


This place is known nationally - possibly even worldwide.  Royalty has visited on at least one occasion.

As you drive toward this place there is something quite distinctive about it.
