Thanks johnfilmer. I am not familiar with that particular church. Google maps and lady luck provided on this occasion.

This next GTP is very famous; you either know it or you don't. If you don't, you will probably realise that you did once it is guessed.

My photo from last year, and my father in the same place 25 years ago.

Well done, Local Hiker, that’s the place.

I was checking out some other potential GTP on Google when I noticed Church Hill, so went looking for a church. It is well hidden, even on street view. So I have no idea of the history of it, but it looks interesting.

My brother in law’s current long term project is completely renovating his late in laws bungalow about a mile from there, so I might combine visiting both one day.

Over to you Local Hiker

A bit too random grandarog, needs to be north of M20.

Go ESE (ish) a few miles-other measures of distance are available.

The old village hall is now a house.

I even went to a couple of “Do’s” in the old village hall opposite, and walked up through there with a girlfriend who lived in Park Drive. No wonder it looked familiar.

I knew it was familiar… Tunstall House, Tunstall.

Must have driven past it thousands of times.

MartinR is correct in that the postcard image is indeed the 1906 Election (see below)

They're not the same photo though.  There are far more people in the original posting, as well as the board.  There's a clock in the 1910 photo but not the the other, the people at the window are different, as is the man standing on Rowe's balcony.
