Similar view from Google, January 2009. Although the church tower
looks deceivingly further away. Think it's the angle. |

The Victory.
The Victory was demolished when the Snodland bypass was built in the
early 1980s, but the first records of this High Street pub are from
1866.
In 1979 the building ceased to have residents because it was
awaiting demolition, but it stood close to the "Red Lion" in its
lifetime. |
