General Discussion / Name Prefix
« Last post by Replica on Today at 11:50:38 AM »
Hello all,
I don't actually live in Kent, or the UK at all. I live in Canada. A good friend of my dad's live in Kent and this gentleman passed away many many years ago.
When he visited Canada he brought with him books and things and one of these books had his name in it. I've always wondered what the "RLO..." prefix to his name meant. I hope someone can help me. Attached is a picture of his name.

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?

Thanks Beachbum, that was a good one. I guessed it as I recognised the brewery sign.  It looked a lot neater then.

This next one has a big clue in it.
Not that it helps but I once purchased a bag of chips in the building on the left.

Well done DTT, you have it. This is Vicarage Street, St. Peters.

The righthand structures are the same now with a Restaurant now in the Wheatsheaf. In the photo are two churches and two pubs, the Baptist Church is set back between the Wheatsheaf and St. Peters Church (the Red Lion opposite).

Over to you DTT.....
