Amazing John.  you seem to have managed to get exactly the same cloud formation as Google did! ;)


All my recent entries are from Google.  No longer a car owner :( and I've used all my Canterbury images.  Trying to find items that have some interest to other members.  So, are you going to give us the answer.  I'd like to know exactly what the structure was as I've read two different descriptions.  :)    It seems to be in water at high tides so I guess water levels have risen since it was built.

Near the coast?


Not the coast as such but certainly near a lot of water.

As an aside, would that have been Lenham Sanitorium? Visible from the A20. I remember that that one was for TB patients & the standard "treatment"- before antibiotics- was lots of fresh air; so rooms opened out onto the balconies &, when it wasn't raining, all was open wide, even in Winter!

Thanks JohnFilmer


It's certainly out of the way so ideal as an isolation/infectious hospital.  I enjoyed the search for that one but needed your clues.


Next one.


This might be difficult but one of you might know it.  It does appear in one position on Google maps.

The OS maps of the period variously describe it as "Infectious Hospital", and later as "Isolation Hospital".
Unused since the fifties, I think, it was part converted to housing, but now is fully converted as Harpswood.
Over to you JW

Hospital Road, roughly east of Hollingbourne.  Possibly an isolation hospital?

It is, JW, and a specific type of one. No longer marked as such on current maps, but consistently on older ones.
Now, where is it? The road name may be your best clue. Mid Kent, (and to recap, North of M20) between two railway lines of very different eras.

Not a Workhouse, Pete. That was a mile or so away on the main road, not tucked away up a narrow lane.

Not quite JW.


The road name should lead you to where it is.
