Keith, is that a narrow gauge railway, or standard gauge?

Was that building the Red Lion on the corner of Corporation Street /Star Hill Rochester?


That's the one Keith. Now replaced with 6/7 lanes of traffic. I noticed that the crane in the distance is still there and something of a landmark, known now as 'The Blue Crane'.


Spent most of my childhood and early teens hanging around that area; Blue Boar, Gaumont, Andys Snacks, Jacksons, etc.

Naylars on the right. Think they are on the Delce now.


Over to you.  :)

I just drove down the larger road to visit number 2 son, who lives in Headcorn. I live near Wichling.

The photo was taken looking away from the more major road, and toward the "interesting" bit of the lane. The more major road links two large villages, each on A roads, and both with railway stations.

It's gone rather quiet.   I've remembered where it is but I'll give someone else a chance.  If nothing by this evening, I'll put my Guess up.

Might need more clues perhaps ...   :)
