Has had various uses over the years.  A restaurant at one time.  Is named after the Village that it's near.

Are those flying buttresses to the left of the steps?  Most odd.


Looks like they are Martin.  There are also two wall ties so it looks like a problem with the brickwork.

The view won't be on GSV, I was killing time in Hoo and the light was fantastic.  The stonework was glowing brightly in the setting sun.  I've not photoshopped that image in any way (it's just the .jpg, not even the raw) other than to reduce the definition so as to allow it to be posted.


I agree Martin, it's a great image and the light is amazing.

To be honest Martin, I wasn't expecting that.  I couldn't find the view that you had so I wasn't 100% certain.  The castellations looked wrong but I can now see that it's only the side with the stairway tower that only has one cut-out (not sure of the correct term) the other sides have two.
I'd better scrabble about and find another GTP a bit quick.

I think I must have travelled around a lot. Another one I recognise. Will hold off again, let's have some new blood guessing. Don't be shy, we don't bite. :)

John's picture is of the electricity crossing over Milton Creek.  The camera was situated in Swale way, just by the new bridge.  There is a small irony here, the pylons were rebuilt in the late 1980s to give more clearance (33m) over the creek (for masts etc), then the new fixed bridge was built which has been allowed to have 3.7m clearance.  (Clearances are measured from Highest Astronomical Tide, roughly springs.  There's more clearance as the tide falls, but then there's less water!)

Here's the next one.  It's way too easy, but the colour of the setting sun on the stonework is a bit special (IMHO).

Right, I know this one but am going to be "out of commission" until tomorrow evening.  If anyone can get it first, please step in, otherwise I'll claim it.
