Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Spot on BeachBum.  It is indeed Cobbs Brewery.  This view would have been from King Street next to the owner's house which was one of my earlier GTPs.


The yellow line shows the area of Cobbs Brewery and the arrow points to the subject of this GTP.


Over to you ...

Cobbs Brewery Margate, being near to the former Dreamland Menagerie.

Eastry?

East of Canterbury?

Yes shoot999, East of Canterbury

Cobtree/Aylesford area?  Not really eastern half, but it did have a zoo and is to the east of the Mudway.

Move a long way east Martin.  Probably nearer to being a menagerie rather than a full-blown zoo now I think of it.

A zoo was close by many years ago.

This brewery no longer exists and this view is not on GSV.  Now mainly residential.

Water not far away

Eastern half of Kent.

Were the premises at some stage a maltster's?  The central building looks like the base of an old oast house, modified to be a general office or store.  The cowl beyond reinforces this, as does the "OFFice" sign.  I'd guess at a date of inter-war, or possibly as late as the 1950s?

You're right on track MartinR

What and where was this ?

[John Walker]

Yes, well done John Walker, its used as part of another Treasure/quiz trail which my wife and I do every now and again. They get you to look around parts of towns and cities where you might not normally go.


Over to you.

Thank you Lutonman.  I enjoyed that one as I visit Whitstable quite a lot and was surprised I'd not seen that artwork before.  Many of those terraced houses were under water in the flood of 1953.  Your treasure hunts sound like a lot of fun 


Next one shortly.
