A relic from World War One

A mate of mine called Roger recently told me that at the end of the First World War old tanks were presented to Englsih towns, as gratitude for their municipal fundraising efforts in the First World War. The vast majority were taken away for scrap, to help the war effort in the '39 to '45 War that followed, a couple of decades later. There is a rare, surviving one in Ashford, Kent. For the simple reason it had been converted into an electricity sub-station, and although just a shell, was 'restored' a few years ago.



















And if you can't find the tank, if ever you're in Ashford...it's 'right by the cafe'!
