Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Clue:  To the left, there are the remains of a holy place.  There was also a hospital which then became a school - since demolished.

Are we back in Canterbury again?

Would the route take you to the North East corner of Kent?

More due east from this location.


Clue: Behind a high wall to the left is a very important historic site.

Clue:  The trees on the far side have long gone but new trees have been planted on the nearside.  This used to be the main route to a coastal town until a narrow lane was widened and became the main route.

Looking down The Mall, Faversham I think.

Interesting history of Wakeley 's Oast House.  I'd never heard of it before.

Not the Mall, Faversham Grandarog, although I can see the similarity.

Clue: Don't use the buildings in the background as clues because I can't identify any of them.  I think some of them have been demolished.

Thats Wakeley 's Oast House. All the records of the Wakeley Brothers business's ,Farm,s Pottery etc were destroyed when there was a Fire in the archives stored there.
It is now a thriving community centre.

Thanks Shoot999


Started searching stations on Google and found this after around the 5th station.  For some reason it made me think of the Medway area, so that's where I started my search.  Good to see the old oast has been saved.


Next one  ...  Where is this?

Rainham ?

Thats it John. Rainham and the old Wakeley Mill.  Takes me back to the 60s when I and hundreds of others would wait at the stations of an evening  for our wives and girlfriends to return from their jobs in London.

Just struck lucky John. Put in Kent manor houses and this came up as 'Kent Manor', although there were no other references to 'Kent Manor' anywhere else. After a bit more research found that it was in fact Boys Hall.


Think this one will be a quick one.
