I looks familiar but the wording --- Rocheltta ---does not match up. It is where I worked after George Carters --- It was in Rochester High St, near the Bridge ! ( Before I went to Aylesford )


Mother`s co-op number --- 2188

I am 90% sure I can remember going in here with my mother as a child in the 1960s and for some unfathomable reason, I can still recall her "Co-Op' number, which must have been linked to the modern equivalent of a rewards system.  Unfortunately I am unable to post a guess  as I do not have anything to reply with.  Do you think I would be on the right track with this one KeithG?

Having done something like this myself, I did wonder if it was a 'red-herring'?


Sort of :)

I was so close, but so far.

I thought I recognised the view, having worked at Chantry House (the medieval stone house on the opposite side of the pond) and its adjoining timber-framed dovecote to the right of the picture in the past and spent many a lunch break eating a sandwich around the pond.

Well done KeithG.

My apologies Diapason. Trying to do to many things at once here.

My sentiments regards the churchyards to granderog.

It was granderog, not me, who was caring for the churchyard.


Not a mill pond as far as I know, but I expect granderog will be able to give more information than myself.

Very nice to see someone caring for a churchyard and its monument, well done Diapason. Shame there aren't a few more people like yourself to deal with all the rest?

Is the lake a mill pond?
