Guess the Place

Canal basin Gravesend?

Gravesend yes. Canal basin no.


The storage tanks now have half dark green and half silver cladding.  Look very smart.  Tankers still operate out of there but with different products.

Northfleet?

Not Northfleet Lutonman but in the right area.  Head east a tad.

We've been close to this location a few times fairly recently.

The old depot at Aylesford, by the level crossing?

Not there JohnFilmer. I believe that was a Shell depot for domestic and small commercial deliveries.

Lido Complex :

I did a full tour of the site in the mid 1990's. The structure is soaked with metal rot and blown concrete.In my view, beyond saving.There has been a history of so called redevelopments schemes and disputes.
The Winter Gardens will now follow the same route.

Many thanks for all the information about the Cliftonville Lido, that was a really interesting exchange of information, especially about the circular building for the bathing machines. I do remember that on our Margate to Broadstairs walk we both thought how run down the area was with lots of signs of neglect and graffiti (though some of this was quite artistic). I had always thought that Cliftonville was the 'posh' area of Margate!.

Isle of Grain Refinery? Now Thamesport Container Terminal?

Not there Beachbum but it's likely this vehicle collected fuel from the Isle of Grain.
