Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Well I'd guess a conservation zone since there is no large pub sign.  Canterbury?  The brickwork is pre-1900, but there's something odd.  It looks as though it is double thickness, but then the windows make me think the building could be much older, older than the Georgian facade.

Not Canterbury MartinR


I've just checked on GSV and in the latest view the pub name is in fairly unobtrusive black letters under the top windows.
The building is a Grade 1 listed and can be dated to 1797.  It has had various names over the years.

Thanks Lutonman.  I was helped by the earlier confirmation that it was in Medway.  An interesting history.




Next one.   I don't think I've used this one before.


I think at least one of our members has had a pint or two in here.

@Diapason, 2 Timothy is New Testament so would not appear on a Synagogue!

[Lutonman]

Not Chatham Synagogue Diapason
Yes Its Medway but Not Christ the King our church is only 30 years old. But is a church

[grandarog]

Assuming its somewhere in Medway! Only clue's I can find  is the red brick and the religious quote.
Guess :- Is it the Foundation stone for Christ the King Church you wrote about.?

[Diapason]

The Chatham Synagogue?


Bit of a wild guess, as the red brickwork is completely out of character with the Synagogue.

[shoot999]

Obvious guess, Medway?

[Lutonman]

Thanks very much John Walker, hard to get for me from Medway not knowing too much about Canterbury.


Try this one, the picture is itself a clue if remember what was up to last year.

[MartinR]

Yes, "the trees have grown" made me think it was a while back!

[John Walker]

St Edmunds School? 51.2914315,1.0588582

Well done Lutonman.  St Edmunds is at the top of St Thomas's Hill going out of Canterbury, heading for Whitstable.  The now disused water tower is opposite.

Over to you ...

[John Walker]

That sounds like you knew it well as a youngster John.

Yes, MartinR,  It's an area I frequented in my early years when I stayed with my Nan not far from this location.   Also, returning from a day at the seaside there would be a good view over Canterbury with the cathedral standing proud.
