Thanks Stewie.  A good one.  I have not been there for  over twenty years, I remember how much I loved looking at the old forge.

Now this photo is a bit outside of my usual areas to throw Rog off the scent. ☺☺

I know where it is but have only driven it a few times in my adult life.

Guess away, no clues yet.

Well done Dave, the building is Sandling Farmhouse at Kent Life, taken on a very wet Mothers Day a few weeks ago, Mrs Stewie is peering out of the frond door! From the Wikipedia page:

Sandling farmhouse is one of the original farm buildings. It was the home of George Brundle, the last tenant of the farm until his death at 98 in 2001. The building dates to the sixteenth century, and has links to Sir Thomas Wyatt.

Over to you Dave.

Found it,  I thought I recognised it so I assumed it was a pub. But it is the Museum of Kent Life, Aylesford. And a very nice place it is too.

Just realised I know this house.  I've been in there.  I'll hold off for now.

A bit of misdirection just adds to the fun!

Johnfilmer, it seems that my statement made in haste was a little bit rash! So the location is mostly east of the Kent / Sussex border but not all of it. Apologies for my misdirection.  :(

Stewie, if you are so confident, maybe that indicates that it is far away from the border? East Kent maybe?

MartinR, best wishes and hope the treatment not only goes well on the day, but has a good outcome.
