Foremans Road?


Not Foremans Road.  (Is there a Foremans Road in Gillingham?)


To clarify, you don't need the name of the company if you know the location. The well known company no longer operates out of this particular site.

Gillingham. But not Lucas/CAV.  And given the GTP is a similar operation, if you guess the company I will need the location of the actual branch.

Not Strood, but that part of Kent.


Were CAV in Strood? I remember dad working for them along the Esplanade in Rochester.


May be wrong on CAV, I thought they were on Priory Rd Strood towards the Darnley Rd, Cuxton Rd junctions, just before the raileay bridge

Spot on, shoot999!


Shoot999, I was there after Xmas. It looks quite different...

I took this photo at least 5 years ago.


I must get out with my camera - all my offerings are being guessed immediately. I thought this one would have lasted bit longer.







Got it just by chance as I was familiar with the area 50 years ago. And I think with Covid we are all getting a bit short on GTP pics to choose from.


Hence my next offering   ;D

Elmley, Isle of Sheppey. Just below the old crossing near the old Ferry Road?

Spot on, Diapason. I cannot find out much about it on The Internet. The whole area, Blue Town, is steeped in history. I love walking or cycling around there. (I must reduce image sizes in future)


Over to you...
