This fine building still exists.  The grounds are surrounded by farmland.

.Bulls eye , Didn't last long...       Over to you John Walker.


Wow!  Thanks Grandarog.  That was just a starter guess. I was thinking of St Peter and St Paul Church but couldn't find a photo of the font to be certain.


Next one ....

I`ll let this one `run` granderog. Should be interesting, there must be a font in every church in Kent. I was fortunate enough to have this one on a shot that I took a few years ago.

Thanks Dave The Train.
I remember going up to the Airfield some time early 1960,s when on leave from RAF. Must have been before 62 as i went to Malta then. The flat building was what I recognised,the big bit with the high bits was only just out of the ground.
I will put next guess up later.

Do power lines have a connection [sic]  :D


I thought it might be the old Richborough Power Station building which is being converted to take power in from Belgium.

You have it, Grandarog.  How did you know, out of interest?  I was hoping it would last longer but I am among professionals.

Is it one of the old Marconi Avionics buildings at Rochester Airport being built years ago ?

Thanks Pete,  I dont often visit TW as it always seems to take so long to get there.  It better off in Sussex I feel.


Anyway, where is this building work going on.  Not housing, nor public realm.  On GSV clearly.

IIRC that's the pub that straddles the county line.  When I lived in TW there was a tale going around that if the Kent Police appeared to raid the place for after hours drinking (22:30 closing then), the landlord simply moved customers into the Sussex rooms, and vice versa of course.  I'm afraid I can't comment on the accuracy of this, I was a "Bedford" man at the time.
