Guess the Place

[MartinR]

Right, I'm back from darkest Suffolk.  John Walker has it.  From the viewpoint you can see the Thames and across the river to Essex.  You'll need binoculars though, or else a rather long lens.

You beat me to it John Walker.
 Stone-age Hand holding Flint Scraping Tool ,one of the Sculptures at Shorne Park .

[John Walker]

Near the viewpoint at Cardiac Hill, Shorne Woods Country Park ?

[MartinR]

Must be a good half a dozen miles from there as a rather deranged crow might fly.  Google Maps shows things in Napoleonic units unfortunately.

PS: I'll be away from my computer from Sunday to Monday evening, so you'd better get it quick or there will be a delay.

St Mary Hoo area?

[MartinR]

Time for a hint: from this location you can see another county and a river.

[MartinR]

Well Stewie, you've got the flint blade (I think it's a scraper, but knife is close enough).  Oi, Johnfilmer: leave my wheels out of this!

[John Walker]

Anything to do with animals - tannery etc.

[johnfilmer]

Remote Control for the mobility scooter?   😀😀

[Stewie]

Looks like a flint knife or blade.

[MartinR]

In a sense, yes.

[John Walker]

No idea where this carving is so far.

Is it a tool in the fist?

[MartinR]

Right, where's this fist and what is it holding?

[johnfilmer]

I have spent many an hour lurking by this, waiting for the then manual crossing gates to open.

At one time a friend and his wife lived on an old Broads Cruiser moored just along from this, always interesting, building.

You have it MartinR. So the Chimney was an Obelisk. The Maidstone Waterworks was built in 1860 and the Chimney removed around 1900
