Longport, adjacent St Augustine Abbey, where two kings of Kent are buried?

Not London Road or Northgate Beachbum.


The road is still wide as per the photo.  The trees along the left side have been felled and replaced but are not yet as big as the ones in the photo.  The remains of the very holy place behind the wall on the left are quite large.  Two kings are buried there.

The road continues past another holy place but that one is still intact.

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

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.
