Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Thank you MartinR  Another one that took some finding


Next one ...


Where and what?

[MartinR]

Not quite.  On the Strand, Gillingham which is why Hoo Island appears as such a bank.

[John Walker]

Well done.  Any idea where I was taking photos?

From a high point on St Mary's Island with a telephoto ?

[MartinR]

Well done.  Any idea where I was taking photos?

[John Walker]

St Werburgh Church, Hoo ?

[MartinR]

Sometimes!  Well twice a day to be precise.

[John Walker]

Is there a river between the bank and the church ?

[MartinR]

Try this one then.  Taken this afternoon, and apologies for the hair but it won't stop you looking for the church.

Wow.... Nice find shoot999
I used those toilets loads of times walking home up to Frindsbury from Star Hill bus stops because of traffic jams along the High Street in the early 1960's..... moved to Frindsbury in 1956 from Gillingham.
Apart from North Street they were the only ones but that was out the way as Canal Road was the shortest route for me.

[shoot999]

Recognised them straight away. Not least helped by the fact I'd only just watched this.

[KeithG]

Yes MartinR you have that....


There were two of these still there but covered in a metal sheet in place of the glass ones.


Over to you.....

[MartinR]

Disused toilets by Rochester Bridge?

[KeithG]

Thanks for that shoot999...


For those who walk around looking at the pavement where is and what was this.......still there but different covering.

[shoot999]

You have it KeithG. It is part of the larger Grade 2 Grafton House in Rochester High Street, and in my day Coal Office for Hawksfield. One of my first memories as a child is being picked up from Troy Town school on a Friday, calling in there for mum to pay the coalman, then on to the market for a treat, and finally into the library; which was in a temporary structure alongside the Corn Exchange. That would probably be around 1955.
