A bit south of there JW its near to a Railway station.

[John Walker]

Dartford?

[Stewie]

You’re clearly on a role Stewie. It is indeed one of the lighthouses, which possesses a dedicating inscription and date.

Thanks CAT I think I have got more in the past week than in 2020! Here is the next one, taken a few years ago now but still there as far as I know. Where is this ornate clock tower?

Perfugium miseris = A place of refuge in distress.  Appropriate for a harbour.

One of the lighthouses at Ramsgate Harbour at the end of the harbour arms?

Good job i said the background looks the same today, Very crafty Stewie, the use of B + W on a recent pic.


I recognised the swinging sign of The Lemon Tree on the front of the timber building, as i had visited it myself a few years back.


My next, but where?

[Stewie]

The background is virtually the same today with the same sign of The Lemon Tree, as well as the ornate bracket on the building to the left. Its Tenterden High Street. I guess the East Kent bus was on a day trip?

Well Done CAT, it is indeed Tenterden High Street as you say, I took the picture in 2019 after a stay over in the town following an evening out on the K&ESR dining train! I have attached the original picture for comparison.

Thanks John Walker, we visited Sissinghurst for the first time in 2019 and I seemed to recall the fact that was used as a  French POW camp. So a quick view of Google matched your picture.


So, I get to host for the second time in three days which is a bit of a record for me! Can you say where this picture of the bus was taken? I don't think that the background is that much different to how it is today.

Its Sissinghurst Castle

Well done Stewie.  It certainly is the gardens at Sissinghurst.  The connection with a conflict between Britain and the French is that it was a prisoner of war camp during The Seven Year's War.
