Next one - might be a stinker but we have some clever guys on here so maybe not.

Can be seen on GSV.

Well I'd never have got that without Grandarog's GSV.  As near as I can tell the camera was at:

1,000,000 reads - that's quite something.

Ref: current GTP - Eastchurch High Street?

CAT's guess of mid Sheppey and a search of pubs in the area helped.

Next one up once DTT has confirmed the above.

Yes I had noticed. Unfortunately with very little input from members on all the other subject pages it is the only thing keeping the Forum afloat. When I look to the stats at the bottom of the home page there are usually far more guests viewing than members.
We must be thankful that Stu keeps he Forum going for us that use it regularly.

I think we have stalled I will check tomorrow but if no reply from CAT then we should take another guess.

Found it but CAT was so close, so I'll hold back for now.

Not a Guess,I'le pass on this one.You cant fool me that easy DTT i know where it is.Mind you, I wasn't around in 1925, to pop into FW Coopers shop to get my daily paper.Your Postcard could date as late as 1945.
Come on one and all have a guess ,the clues are there.

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.
