Foord Road, MAIDSTONE, ME17 2QN

This house in Maidstone Road, Lenham is certainly different. There is one gorilla climbing over the fence and another one swinging from a tree in the background to the left. A cow and a pig are in the front garden and what looks like a giraffe on the chimney pot. The Queen is sitting on the cart to the right of the porch with Mr Bean to her left. A soldier stands guard to her right and out of the photograph behind them is what could be Michael Jackson.

I imagine this is to protect the building below once the tiles have been removed from the roof. The sheeting has reflected the sun in such a way that much detail of the structure has been lost.

There's a wonderful holiday rental cottage behind the second shop front from the left, and some excellent local establishments still trading; e.g. bakers, Fish & Chip shop, two pubs, Post Office, grocery store, posh restaurant and a slinky lingerie shop!
