Oh sorry Dave have just seen your post.


The pictures just appear for me  and I'm like you , an ignoramus when it comes to computers. Best to ask Stuart I think or one of the other men who post frequently.
Hope you do get them , I hop in and out most days for a peep. x

[Dave Smith]

Lyn L. How do you get all the pictures please? They never appear for me( a computer ignoramus!).

My first though was Rochester High Street, but then I thought about the chain.  I've walked past it (when that was still an option) on my way from a parking space to the St. Gregory's Centre for Music.
Here's the next one.  Getting the building is the bare minimum, but why are those stairs walled off and where in the building is it?

That was quick MartinR - Have you visited?



Originally operating as the "Vines" this establishment was listed as the "New Inn" by 1861. However, Kelly's directory managed to call this "Ye Vines" in 1900.
The "New Inn" was an Ind Coope House, previously Bushell, Watkins and Smith. Bushell's of Westerham bought (from solicitors acting as liquidators/administrators) the small tied estate of the Original Brewery, Broad Street, Canterbury, which was owned/bankrupted by Mr Alfred Beer (related to Edwin?) Not to be confused with George Beer (brother of Alfred) of the Star Brewery, Broad Street. Both sons of William Beer, of the St Augustine's Brewery, who (it would appear) did not get on, hence the rival breweries over the road from each other!

New Inn, Havelock St, Canterbury

Thank you MartinR.   The horse thing took some searching .  A church I hope to visit sometime when we're allowed out again.....




Next one ...

[MartinR]

Well done John, you've covered all points.  The listing includes the mounting block at the west end.  The tenor bell has the inscription "Sancte Andree Ora Pro Nobis" (Saint Andrew pray for us) which is odd since the dedication has always been to St Thomas.

You are all quite safe ! I don't know this one  .
Love seeing all the Guess The Place photo's , just don't know many of them. x

[MartinR]

Here's an atmospheric picture of a Grade I building for you, the original church may date from 1294.  It is interesting that the dedication on the tenor bell is not the same as that of the church.  Bonus points if anyone can explain the equestrian edifice at the west end.

44 is what GSV quotes, but that may be the other side of the Road.  I modified my answer to mention that the ginnel leads down to Dunning's Lane if that helps.

Thats it. Its the odd numbers on that side, and they are out of sync with those opposite. Its numbers are 97-99. And the alleyway was Dunnings Lane.


It was originally the Foresters Arms, and subsequently Baldwins Motorcyles where I used to buy my bikes from.


And the KHF connected which Lyn L spotted straight away?  It was the childhood home of the well respected and sorely missed Peter Challis.

Upper floor of two private houses at 44 Maidstone Rd, Rochester.  End terrace, next to an alley whose name I can't see on GSV.

I think you have it, but its not No 44.
