I think I have it.  The far end of West Street, Faversham.  First glance looks like many of those building still exisit.

Thats it Grandarog.


This pic was a GTP on the other site some years ago. Its just round the corner from where I lived.


I recently noticed on our KHF pub thread that the pub that replaced it; The Good Intent,  has just been demolished to make way for houses. The pic on The Good Intent thread is roughly where this was taken from; albeit some years apart. 


On your map link its identified as the Lifeboat with the Good Intent further down Queen St. In fact The Good Intent was on the Lifeboats site, and the pub further down is The Morden Arms. My dad was resident musician in the Morden Arms so I knew it well.


So over to you,  :)

Looks like it,s time to fire up the time machine for this one.
Are we definitely in one of the Medway Urban areas, Gillingham ,Chatham, Rochester, Strood ??
.


Yes Medway Towns. Nothing in the pic remains, but that particular spot has been mentioned elsewhere recently, and not to far from here
