Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Slightly cryptic clue:  In the blue corner...

[John Walker]

Not sure if this does class as a village or even a hamlet but it does have a name.  A spattering of mixed houses, a closed post office, a manor, a scrap yard and the GTP Pub.  A newly formed woodland is close by as is a busy 'A' Road which heads for the coast.  A well-established very large woodland is also close by.

Town or village?

I have rechecked the Google scan and it is from April 2019. At that time I believe the Cannon was sited at the Imperial Hotel Hythe.
Apologies for any problems...............

Cannon Location : I took these photos on 14th October 2022.

Nice little pub

That was a toughie Beachbum!  I'd been up and down that stretch in GSV several times, but Google doesn't label the memorial, and as John says, the cannon has gone.  Anyhow, eventually I found it thanks to you and John, so the location is:

• Nat'l Grid:                  TR 20050 35068
• Nearest Post Code:   CT20 3DA
• Coords (WGS84):      51°04'22"N, 001°08'23"E or 51.072733,1.139740

Thanks Beachbum.   The cannon doesn't appear in the latest GSV so I guess it was moved after the camera unit passed through.


Next one ...

Spot on John Walker. The clue was in the second sentence
This is the Imperial Cannon in front of the John Moore Memorial on Sandgate Esplanade. Originally sited at the Imperial Hotel.

Sandgate - behind the memorial?

Proceed in the Folkestone direction MartinR.
The Cannon is on standby for migrant duties.......

[MartinR]

Eh?  South from Dover would put you in Le Tréport at the mouth of the Somme!
Assuming a somewhat flexible "south", are we headed to Folkstone?

Not Upnor Castle, go South John Walker
