Diapason is in the right area, but not Star Hill.


Are you being pedantic in that it is the High St not Star Hill proper?  ;)


No. If it was 'just in the High Street' it would show 'Andys Snacks'. And that's more recognisable than the Castle and Cathedral! Although in this case the building and those around it are long gone.

Thank you John Walker.


Sorry about the quality of this one, but still easily recognisable if you know it.

That's the place Shoot999.  I still think of it as the Roman Galley when I pass it.   


I used to run my mobile disco there some weekends in the 70s for the coach runs to Margate etc.


Over to you ....

CAT  -  Not quite as far east as Sandwich Bay


Can be seen on GSV - fairly close to a busy 'A' Road.
I believe it was built around 1936
Has been on TV
