Guess the Place

[John Walker]

I'm still away and don't have access to the old maps on my mobile. I enjoy these map GTPs.
Anything to do with Seven Mile Lane?

[johnfilmer]

Nearby intersection was once a giddy making start to a new type of road

[johnfilmer]

The drive coming down past the lodge, originally continued on the south of the road, just visible behind the cottages on the lane. It went to a railway station.


The lane is now a busy road, although still called a lane.


The group of buildings was often referred to as a Colony.

[johnfilmer]

There are now two sets of traffic lights within the map area shown.

[johnfilmer]

Well that was an outright guess!
Next one is a map again, from the 1930s. None of the Crescent still exists, a lot of change especially since the 70s.
Mid Kent, near water and two railway lines. South of M20

[John Walker]

Goudhurst?

Yes, JohnFilmer, Goudhurst it is. St Marys
Over to you...

[johnfilmer]

Goudhurst?

[John Walker]

JohnFilmer and Grandarog    Your both not a million miles away but both need to move further south (ish)   

[johnfilmer]

I wondered about Staplehurst

[grandarog]

Quick guess. St Michaels, East Peckham.

[John Walker]

I'm away most of this week so my replies might be delayed.  I'll look in as much as possible.


Further clue:  Top of a hill.  That should do it. 

[John Walker]

Sort of SW Kent

Thanks Diapason


The picture rang a bell when I saw it so as you say, probably from the old forum.  I lived in Minster for a number of years and Laundry Road was where we used to watch the Manston Air Shows from (Free of charge and no traffic jams).




Next one ...  Which church is this font to be found in ?

[Diapason]

Yes the old Minster Laundry where my Grandfather was the engineer in the very early 1900s.


shoot999 -  I think I used this pic. on the former KHF


As it is today, possibly the same`van` on the Ramsgate sands.

[John Walker]

I have a feeling that this was the original laundry at the top of Laundry Hill in Minster, Ramsgate?
