Thanks DTT .  Just looked it up and it's closed for the rest of this season.  Such a shame.

Next one...  where is this large property and what is it's history?

Looks like narrow gauge - so perhaps one of three that I'm aware of.  I don't think it's RH&D.  There's one hidden in woods which I can't recall the name of, so I'll go for the other one I do know.


The Bredgar & Wormshill Light Railway

I've not been to this one yet but hope to visit in 2021.

Well done DTT - spot on.  As CAt has reported, Aylesham is expanding at an amazing rate.  It will be more than a village soon and I guess be classed as a small town.


For other searchers, it's at the start of Milner Avenue.



Over to you DTT.

found it, Ayelsham Parish Council Office.  I would guess that it was a mine office at some point in the past.  I had to look for a flat roof building on the KLIS map.

DTT - You are correct with Aylesham.  The current purpose of the building took me a while to find.

Not Herne Bay Pete - Head SSE - Find the village and then the building.


On a large housing development and near a railway line
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.
Very cunning Mr Walker
A once prosperous area went into decline but is now on the up
Very close to at least two earlier GTPs.

Not intended as a cryptic clue DTT.  It's a straight clue.
