Right product, wrong place.


Somewhat south ish from there.

Funton Brickworks at Lower Halstow?

You are excused JW, senior moment and all that
Seriously that was very odd, I just knew where it was even though I may only have ever zoomed past on the main road. It was all down to many happy hours spent wandering around a virtual Canterbury and its environs looking for other Guess the Place locations. Either that or I've got a bit Mystic Meg...
Meanwhile. This scene no longer exists, but it was there from about 1850 until recently. It famously produced a particular variation of a common kentish product of the time. Railway is almost adjacent, it had a private siding to shift the heavy product.

Despite having a touch of railway gothic about it, I think that is beside the A2050 at Harbledown.

Thanks Grandarog


A lucky guess.


Next one - can be seen on GSV ...

That's the Place. The Vicar at Rainham took photos of the beacons in the surrounding villages from the tower of Rainham Church. Upchurch was the brightest he saw.
Over to you John Walker.

Upchurch recreation ground ?

To try to narrow it down further-Medway Towns?
