in the late 60s early 70s it was a student dive, 4 or 5 gas cookers, pots of curry,spag bol and chilli at about 2 bob a bowlfull. Used to go there most days when I worked at Lefevres

That's the one John.  GSV shows the "unusual restaurant" but you're quite right it is now the Foundry pub/brewery.   The wall plates are along the Jewry Lane side of the building.  The whole building though is rather fine, with dog-tooth detailing along the cills and lintels and the original iron windows.  If you look closely at the top of the blue door you can see where the original crane track was.

I should have known this place, I've been there enough times.  Originally a foundry where local lamp posts were cast.  In the late 70s it became an American style hamburger joint run by David Quine and his late wife.  A great place with loud rock music playing.  Then an art shop, an unusual restaurant and now the Foundry Pub.  Stour Street, Canterbury.  Strange how you notice thing less in your own neck of the woods!

Nice try John, but no.  shoot99 is right on both points, do you have a specific place in mind?

Nope! Just put the clues together.     Now off to explore Canterbury by GSV

An old industrial building thats now a pub/brewery?   Canterbury area?

The wall plate appears to form the letters WI  - would this be a Women's Institute?

NE from Ashford.  The wall plate (without the flowers) is clearly visible on GSV.  The GSV image shows a different name to the one visible last summer, apparently the previous establishment went bust but the GSV image is from April 2017.

Can this wall plate be seen on GSV?

Ashford?
I expect the flowers are dead now so how about some more clues........ rather a small item to find in the whole of Kent 

[MartinR]

No.  Go ENE.

[John Walker]

Biddenden area?

Not Medway Towns, further from water away than that.  The photo was taken at 14:57:19 on 2 June 2019.

Medway Towns?
How old is your photo?

[MartinR]

Time for a hint.  It's clearly an industrial building, but nowadays serves a more bibulous function.  Quite a way from any significant waterway.
