Hopefully neither Coxheath or Sutton Valence are too tidal...


A couple of miles from the bottom of Sutton Hill takes you near Headcorn and it’s various waterways. Likewise from Dean Street that could take you to the Loose Valley.


Not found any sign yet, about to go out, will return later.

Still searching.  All the works with nearby waterways that I've found so far are tidal.  ::)   :)

Kind of right, but nothing to do with tides. Yes, a non-tidal stretch of watercourse just to the right, out of shot. Like I mentioned earlier, this kind of asset is usually found in a Sewage Works, but these are some distance (a couple of miles in fact) from the Sewage Works which they serve.


To help out, here is a list of the Sewage Works in the ME Postcode Area, in no particular order:


Motney Hill
Middle Stoke
Whitewall Creek
Ham Hill
Queenborough
Aylesford
Sittingbourne
Teynham
Faversham
Coxheath
Sutton Valence

I'm thinking, temporary storage in cases of flood/tide levels.  Near to water ie. River/creek etc ?

No, no and no.
The reeds were not supposed to be there, in fact getting rid of them and all the silt and accumulated detritus was the reason I was there.
Not settlement tanks, but similar. The water and sewage is only supposed to go into them occasionally and its not supposed to stay there long.
The site to my knowledge has never had a military connection.

An experimental natural water purification system where the water passes through plants, like reeds?

Getting there JB. It's to do with the sewage system, but unusually for this kind of asset, it (or rather they) are/is not located in a sewage Treatment works.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I've been at work since Friday night in Hastings, right next to the beach. This is the best I can do. What and where is this? Little clue to start you off, ME postcode area.

I think as I only needed Brittania Refined metals as the answer and Stuart came up with it first ,on the 15th as arbiter, and heeding MartinR's post, I will give it to
            stuartwaters.


Over to you for the next teaser  :)

Oh, and first Stuart, then John identified the place before I posted any co-ordinates, it was only then that I managed to find it, so I think the honours goes to Stuart.
Quite agree Stuart.

I think I found it first, though Martins answer was more complete than the rules demand. It was your pic Grandarog, whose go is it now?
