Is it Listed ? Is it Medway area, if yes, East or West of Medway?

That's a large image  ;D   The plaque looks like it says 1577 ?   

Starter question:  Hartlip area?

hmm, I simply thought: there's only one large river IN Kent, the Medway.  So what decent sized towns are there: Maidstone (discounted), Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham and Sheerness.  Well the Medway Towns are the larger group, middle-for-diddle it means Chatham somewhere!  If Beachbum is keeping his head down and dodging this one, I have a look through my catalogue to try and puzzle you all tomorrow.

OK, try this one:

Close enough for me Beachbum, the photo was taken in No. 1 smithy in the Historic dockyard. The grandchildren enjoyed the exhibition as did  I, in fact I was thinking of making a return visit with Mrs Stewie so that we could read all of the information there!

over to you Beachbum / MartinR.

Yes Martin R, Chatham it is. though I suppose the river doesn't actually flow through it more around it!

Not Maidstone Beachbum but the town it’s in does have a large river passing through it. 🤓

The exhibit is part of a 'temporary' collection available to view here in 2023.

I'm fairly certain I know this location so will hold back for the moment.
