A "Beatle" visits Teston

In 1983 I had the privilege of meeting Sir Paul McCartney on location in Teston. He was filming a scene for the film "Give my regards to Broad St." on the river at the locks. I had been working in The Chequers at West Farleigh and managed to get a tip off. So before anyone else knew about it, I left college early and with a couple of mates we went to Teston to try to get a glimpse.

Watching from a distance by the locks he called us over! We were standing chatting to him for a good half hour and got autographs and photos-what a nice bloke!

The scenes they were filming were about 30 seconds in the actual film-but that was the day a beatle visited Teston.
