Still very quiet, at place where M20, HS1 and the road in front of our building are fairly parallel.

The name of the pub and the lane to the side are the same. But which came first, unknown.

Go further east Pete.


It is north of M20, but not by much.

Much closer Lutonman, but more rural.


There was a military encampment locally for a few months when France (who else!) were sabre rattling in support of the American Colonies.

I'll stay with the dead pubs theme once more - such a rich seam.
This one has a forge next door. I think the porch is recent. Mid Kent.

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.
