Douce's Manor, West Malling
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: Unknown
An 1840 refronting of an early C18th house. Rendered, with an emphatic parapet and Tuscan porch. Grade II* listed. At the time of the photo, which is uncertain, I think it was offices but it now seems to have been converted into flats. Douglas Nelson has since told me that in 1999 it was owned by Commercial Union and used as a training and conference centre. An ex-games room/bar is preserved from a period of RAF use during World War Two.
