Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Found it at last.  The Street, Lynsted.
Looks like it hasn't changed a lot externally.

Nearer to Rodmersham than Faversham.

[John Walker]

Outskirts of Faversham?

[johnfilmer]

Eastish (sorry MartinR  ) from there, JW.

[John Walker]

Rodmersham area?

[johnfilmer]

That caught me out, I was simply going through the forts
This is an old rural post office - but where? It is north of M2

[MartinR]

Well from the satellite view I couldn't find the exact location, so the centre of the fort is at:

• Nat'l grid:    TQ 751 650
• Post code:  ME4 6HZ
• WGS84:     51°21'N, 000°31'E or 51.358,0.514

<rant>Please note the accuracies.  100m is plenty accurate enough for a structure of this size!</rant>

It is indeed Fort Horsted, the view shows the counterscarp gallery in on of the angles of the moat which was capable of firing in either direction. The occasion was a KHF organised visit to the fort which is now a small industrial park in October 2012 . I always liked this picture as the hanging vegetation and greenery resembles an abandoned city in the Amazon jungle straight out of an Indiana Jones movie.
Over to you :-)

Running out of forts! Fort Horsted?

Fort Luton?

[John Walker]

Should we be looking as far as Sheerness ?

[Stewie]

Sorry Lutonman, not Fort Borstal

[Lutonman]

How about Fort Borstal

[Stewie]

Lutonman, I don't believe so, the relevance was that it was a KHF organised visit. :-)

Stewie,
Is this a fort where people on the old history forum worked?
