It is The General Gordon, Whitbreads took it on as part of a swop with Charringtons about 1979. A pretty rough place but the very large public bar had a decorative frieze painted on the walls showing Egyptian and Sudan scenes The under bar was unusual in that it was all metal and I think pewter but possibly aluminium seemingly fabricated in one piece including sinks and drainers. Over to you John

It was the General Gordon, Cedar Ave, Gravesend.
It looked familiar, but now I know where it was, I don’t think that I ever went near it.

Looks like one of the seaside coach stops? On the A20?

You have it Pete. I felt it needed plenty of clues as a bit out of the way. Passes under the Canterbury East Station line on its way to London. As you emerge from the underpass there's an enormous collection of large caravans for foreign fruit pickers. One of the Mansfield Farm apple orchard areas. Acres and acres of apple trees on both sides of the railway line.
Over to you Pete.

Not near the M20 Pete but you are correct with the North Downs Way. Not too far away from my last GTP. That should help.

If you go through this tunnel at certain times you would likely hear a deep rumble.
East Kent again.

Quarry or military?
Neither Pete. Access for agricultural vehicles now mainly. It's on a well-known walking route through Kent. Those are pallets piled up at the other end. On a very large farm.
