Absolutely right Diapason. It was on a previous GTP. Although 20 years apart Peter Challis and I had a few shared connections in that area. My great-grandfathers garden backed on to the Challis family home, my Dad frequented The Forrester's when Peters parents had it, ( I believe his parents are in this pic somewhere) and in the seventies I was in there a lot as it was by then a motorbike shop. Peter filled in a number of gaps I had with the history of Troy Town for me. An absolute gentleman.




Over to you.

I think Peter Challis may have spent his early years in this pub.

Foresters Arms, Rochester?


I think that I`ve seen this one before which has some connection with "peterchall", a highly respected member of the `old` Forum.

The nearby gardens have a long Japanese-style garden with a stream flowing down to a lake.
