    Yes it certainly is Shoreham in Kent, in the Darenth Valley between Swanley and Sevenoaks. I grew up there and recognise everything, inlcuding some of the people.

    I am wondering if this footage relates to a period before 1959. There is someone present in the congregation who died before 1959.
    Would there be any way of double checking?
