You certainly do have it grandarog and your pic illustrates it very nicely as it is at present (not that it has changed much since my pic of early twentieth century). I'm happy for any delay to encourage others, but I wonder if a few days is a bit too long to keep others waiting?

Hi Cat. I know where this is, but as the GTP is becoming a group of very few people guessing,I will put up the street view picture to see if any others can have a go at finding the place.
If no one gets it within a few days I will claim it.

Many thanks John Walker.


'Old' St James' Church is very interesting structure with its origins dating back to the twelfth century at least. There was an addition on the south side in the fourteenth century which housed the Court for the Chancery and Admiralty Courts of the Cinque Ports, as well as the Court of Lodemanage. It was heavily altered during the late eighteenth - early nineteenth century which included a new south aisle, which itself was almost as large as the original church, but was sadly heavily damaged by a direct bomb strike during WWII. This left the building virtually unrepairable and was subsequently consolidated into a 'Tidy ruin'.


Here is my next, which is well away from my own traditional stomping ground, but could be very familiar to others on the forum?

You have it Grandarog, i had hope it being Thanet it would last a little longer. But i guess a major intersection, i should have cropped the image a little more.

That is the "The Square " Birchington .One of the many postcards showing the "New Inn"

Bill's guess was a bit of the architecture of the "Thirsty Pig "pub Maidstone .

I dont think Bill is watching, so has either misinserted his image or is offline.  I shall put a new image up to keep the ball rolling.

Sowhere is this market square?
