Thanks for that shoot999,


I do remember the green and cream colours and was scratching my head about it......that is why i decided just to go along here on Google Earth.


Like yourself this was all my area in the 60`s....i too wondered why a drive through gate?


Next one is this row of houses.....where are they and what was the purpose?

I do believe it is here......opposite "Summers" the office business in Rochester/Chatham High Street


Thats it KeithG. The building and the surrounding area-Chatham Intra-always fascinated me when I walked that way from work in the 60s. Looked like a wooden storehouse or something from the side, but just a straightforward building from the front. Although I always wondered why it had a drive through. 
Probably one of the first High Streets to become run down, although I see a number of artisans have moved their workshops into the area, with the council looking to restore the area to some former glory based around the old Art Deco Featherstones/Spemco building.
Over to you.

The river  is the Medway which is just out of site, but very close by; but not the Strood side. And not an industrial estate.

I was implying by the side of, or close to, a river as opposed to a place called Riverside in my previous post :). Is the river its close to The Medway?

It can be seen on GSV and  the river can also be seen from the same GSV viewpoint. Located on  a reasonably busy thoroughfare and close to a number of recent GTPs.

Riverside?


Not sure what you mean by Riverside; as in a particular area, but it is by a river. Not Faversham.

Light industrial building (being repaired)?


It's been many things. A store, shop, cafe, part of a private dwelling. And no, not being repaired, more  cladding.




There are and always have been light industrial units within the vicinity.
