Clue: A waterway passes through the grounds. I'm guessing that it's on its way to the River Medway.

I visited there as a very young person, with my mother and a coachload of her Townswomen Guild adventurers.
Think the WI without the Jerusalem….
Come on someone other than the Usual Suspects, it’s definitely not rocket science, and quite enjoyable.

It's called a castle but I don't think it's a true castle.
Can't be seen on GSV but can be seen in Google's aerial maps (as per my photo).

Thanks Beachbum. I hadn't realised I'd passed 3000 posts until you mentioned it.
Next one .... Should be easy.
What and where. Add some history for bonus points.

It is indeed the old Mereworth Garage, JW. The sign has BSA on one side and Triumph on the other.
Very quiet indeed, but over to you.

The gearbox garage is in Mereworth and the sign outside has BSA on it.

Yes, it has been rather quiet on here lately JohnFilmer.
I hope you are ok MartinR - you are very missed on this topic and the forum in general.

Found it but I'll hold for now as I've had a few GTPs lately.
