Guess the Place

Berkley Crescent.

[John Walker]

Gravesend?

Yep!      Gravesend it is.   Shouldn't be too difficult now.

Would Maidstone be any closer to the GTP than Tunbridge Wells?

Further north of T/Wells.  This architecture seems slightly out of place (at least to my way of thinking)

Would Maidstone be any closer to the GTP than Tunbridge Wells?

[John Walker]

Wild guess, Tunbridge Wells?

Not Pantiles or Tunbridge Wells Beachbum, although I can see why you might think it is.


You need to head in a northerly direction ...

[Beachbum]

The Pantiles?

Wild guess, Tunbridge Wells?

[John Walker]

500 mtrs to the right you will find water.

Clock tower nearby.

We've had GTPs in this area before.

The image is from GSV - the wide angle lens has made some of the columns look a different size.  I am fairly certain they are all the same size.


There's another set opposite these.

[John Walker]

Thanks CAT,  I've visited Goodenstone House a few times and never knew the Jane Austin connection.  Always something new to learn on GTP.


Next one.


Where is this row of columns?

[CAT]

Just as I expected John Walker, a concise and thorough answer covering my requested 100% answer.


Over to you

[John Walker]

You are 50% there John Walker, but my initial GTP possessed a second question with the literary connection also?

Found it 

From Wiki ...

Not long after the house was built, extensive formal gardens developed around the house, the brainchild of William Harris. However, Sir Brook Bridges, 3rd Baronet (the grandson of Brook Bridges, 1st Baronet) replaced the gardens at the end of the 18th century with a landscape park and made several alterations to the house. He married Fanny Fowler and had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married Edward Austen, brother of the famous author Jane Austen. The young couple stayed at Rowling house on the estate for several years before moving to nearby Godmersham and Jane was a regular guest at Goodnestone. It was after staying at Rowling House in 1796 that she began writing her novel Pride and Prejudice originally named First Impressions.
