Shoot999  It's within 10 miles of Canterbury.


DTT - I can't find anything to say it has been a telephone exchange but it might have been.  It has a different use currently.  A place where decisions are made.

I'd never heard of it before - impressive looking property.  I image the views from it were outstanding as it was on the edge of the escarpment.


Next one ...  Where is this and what is/was it's function?


(There is a name over the door and a name plaque between the left hand windows which I've 'cloned' out)
