This was the local forge, attached to Forge House. It later became a motor car and agricultural repair garage, still selling fuel about 35years ago. The site has diversified into a minor industrial estate, mainly motor orientated. The last owner did not live in Forge House, but in the house out of shot to the right, but kept his splendid Lanchester in the old forge.

Thats it ,You have it been like that for donkeys years.
            On the A2 just as you leave Teynham towards sittingbourne. Old Farm House.
            It is listed so I think the idea is to wait until it becomes dangerous and beyond repair then knock it down and build a housing estate on the farmyard.

It’s Radfield House, London Road, Teynham.


Grade 2 listed, would be wonderful to see it sympathetically refurbished.

That's one of the WW1 Tanks at a Farm at Yalding. Not sure if open to the public its a restoration group that are based there.

So far the only place for a military vehicle collection I can find in Kent is at Hever Castle.

Thanks for the video John.  One small point to make: they mention that landing is not permitted on Chetney Marshes, but it is also worth noting that landing is forbidden on Deadman's Island.

I was a bit concerned that "Colas Batching Plant" wasn't right, apparently they started in 1922 and were taken over by Shell in 1929. Now back to GTP- where can you find this?
