Well done! I was beginning to think that no one was out there…

Seems that this was a standard design bus shelter, I spent many hours standing in one at Newington over my time as a chorister, waiting to catch the bus for a mile home. I was later allowed to use a push bike, but at night on the A2, a slightly scary experience in hindsight.

Over to you.

There is a dead pub, now house, up the road to the left, although being between villages it has been listed on the Dover website as being in the larger village. The little hamlet served by this bus shelter also goes by yet another name and seems to be part of the larger village which is to the north.

When I said north of M2, it is only just…
