For a while but you can be sure that word will get out... it's quite a
coup for the owners of the home of the National Fruit Collections:
http://www.brogdale.org/html/visit_us.html

Some background for people who don't know the exact location:

Brogdale is just South of Faversham, half a mile due West of M2
junction 6, about 100 metres South of the M2 carriageway. Altitude is
41m amsl and it's 5 miles North of the North Downs summits (170m to
200m amsl). So, in the lee of the Southerlies that day, which may
explain the record.

Can we decide to call it 'Faversham' please, rather than Brogdale, or
Bogdale as I'm sure some will accidentally write/say? Brogdale
does not appear on my 1:50000 OS map for a start. It may well
be that it's a commercial name rather than a historic/geographic one
(can anyone who lives locally confirm?). And the station is a darn
site nearer to Faversham than Gravesend is to Gravesend, if you
see what I mean. And it was always called "Faversham" in the good
old days when all these stations appeared in the Monthly Weather
Report. And, and, and ....
