When the iconic band Squeeze wanted a location for shots for their new album, they looked no further than Tenterden.

They came to the Kent & East Sussex Railway station and then posted on Twitter how much they had enjoyed themselves.

Suzanne Hunt, from the band’s management company Stress Management, said: “We love Tenterden.

“It is such a beautiful location and the station is a stunning place.

"There are so many different places and small spaces that you can get different looks.

“It is such a versatile location and links with the theme of the album.”

The band tweeted a picture of members Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford at the station on Tuesday with the message: “Had a great day yesterday in Tenterden on a photo shoot for our new album. Mastering starts this week, nearly there!”

The album, called From the Cradle to the Grave, is due for release next month.

It features all new material which will also be used in a TV documentary on the band due to broadcast later this year.

Suzanne said that the pictures taken at Tenterden would be used for publicity purposes and inside the album cover sleeve.

“They are the official pictures for this campaign,” she added.

Tilbrook and Difford were founder members of Squeeze in 1973, with Jools Holland on keyboard.

Their second album Cool For Cats, released in 1979, featuring the classic single Up The Junction as well as the title track and cemented their place as one of Britain’s most important young bands.

In 1980 Paul Carrack replaced Holland, lending his vocals to the smash hit Tempted.

The band disbanded in 1984, only to reform the following year. It broke up again in 1999, reforming in 2007.

The current line-up is Tilbrook, Difford, Stephen Large, John Bentley and Simon Hanson.
