Thanks Stewie, but what is the grid reference? ;)

The last couple have had decent addresses so I've not chased camera positions, nor have I got anywhere near.  I'll get back to it, but I'm just in the midst or correcting proofs for an article in The Blackcountryman which is obviously not of much Kentish interest.

I think it's here MartinR  51.39836858765984, 0.9218825112712228

Are you from the Black Country MartinR?   We've been to the Black Country Museum a number of times - an amazing place.

For Martin R, the site of the former Stage 3 nightclub was here.

The nightclub was near the site of a former railway station.

Hi Johnwalker, i've had a good search and found a club called the Casino Rooms which was (and I think still is) in Minster. The venue I attended only had one name for the duration of its 10 year lifetime from the late 70's to the late 80's and so was not there.
I'll start feeding in some more clues this afternoon if the trail goes cold.

All I can say JohnWalker is that it wasn't the called Casino Club when I was attending, as far as I know it only had one name whilst it was open.

I only knew of one club on Sheppey.  It was a big one with a balcony and stage.  It had some big acts there.  I thought it was called The Casino but it was a long time ago - early 1990s so I could be wrong.  The guy who ran it was called Eric ??????.

Thanks Dave, being born & bred in Chatham, I recognised those gabled building straight away, I think the 'Fine Fare' supermarket used to be on the corner and there was a fish & chip shop there as well?
Now as the man once said, "and now for something completely different". This next one is a first for me in that it is not one of my pictures. The venue is somewhere I frequented in the first half of the 1980's on a fairly regular basis either with friends or with the future Mrs Stewie.
So where is this?
