In lieu of location information, this is how it looks today:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3223401,1.1948594,3a,26y,49.98h,91.06t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQOzjYJ319Maq0HJBRl5HRg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?entry=ttu

Looks like Royal Oak on the signboard.  I'll take a guess at the one that was in Upstreet although the rest of the photo looks very different to today.

Lovely Postcard from early in the last Century. Sent to Mrs Marriot at Eastbourne. You can buy it for £9.99. :)

I will hold off for now.


Indeed it was, Rog.  😀😀

DaveTheTrain, it is at Chartwell, one of Churchill's favourite spots to sit and chill apparently. Over to you...
