On the Crab & Winkle Way, at Clowes Wood. There's a pond here that was used for water for the steam engines on the route. It's important historically in rail: with engineering input from the Stephensons, Brunel and Telford involved.

Now part of National Route 1:
'Go from cloisters to oysters with seven miles of almost traffic-free cycling, the Crab and Winkle Way between Canterbury and Whitstable explores a delightful slice of east Kent, packed with history and nostalgia.'

My bike in front of The Mid Kent Water Company 1937 building, not far from Painters Forstal, Kent.
These kind of water company buildings & telephone exchange buildings are fascinating for me. What happens with them now?

There was one on Grand Designs years ago (Yorkshire?) - the owners had a car (Mini?) as a piece of furniture.
As it's gone over 20 series now, could be tricky to find it^_^

Edit - This might be it, but it's only part of the programme

Thanks Alex H, appreciated. That was an amazing building:smile:

Trying a thread in the Photo Gallery - duplicated the Mid Kent 1937 picture to start. All contributions welcome.
