Guess the Place

[MartinR]

41 Longport.  At the bottom of St. Martin's Hill, hard by the junction with the top of North Holmes Rd.

[John Walker]

you will pass here if you are on either of these pilgimages ...
Via Francigena to Rome or Camino de Santiago to Santiago de Compostela


(I'm hoping a member will be able to confirm the objects use)

[John Walker]

On a main route out of the city.

[John Walker]

Close to City Centre - not far outside city walls.  an area with lots of history.......

[MartinR]

I didn't know where you lived John.  We all have difficulty getting out these days, I only leave the house for people to stick needles into me!
Canterbury central (within the ringroad) or suburbs?

[John Walker]

Where else ?   


I don't have a car so difficult getting out of town these days.

[MartinR]

Canterbury?

[John Walker]

Not Sheppey - East Kent

[MartinR]

Sheppey?

[John Walker]

I'm thinking street light timer. You need to head east. It's in full view and can be seen on GSV

[MartinR]

I know I've seen something like this before.  I think it's either a controller for street lighting, or else for traction currents for trams.  As to where, will the Historic Dockyard be in the right vicinity?

[John Walker]

I believe so MartinR.  It has 400v and 240v (3 phase and single phase ?) on the label but no other detail that I could make out..

[MartinR]

Is that a time switch attached to the main box?

[John Walker]

Thank you MartinR.  That church does look quite special.


Next one - What and where ?

[MartinR]

That's the one.  If you get a chance it is well worth a visit, the plasterwork is stupendous.
