Guess the Place

[johnfilmer]

OK back to the usual.
This is a dead pub. Listed on the Dover website as closing in 1998. Urban.

One of my sisters went to school with the then publican's daughter. Clue, it was Sheerness Tech.

Apologies for the delay folks, Sainsbury's got the better of me this morning...
I will post a proper GTP later today, but in the meantime I have a question. Where was this photo taken? Margate or thereabouts is favourite, and the background contains a few clues, spire next to large roof, a tall building (with scaffolding?) left hand side etc.
Likely taken 1959/60, the fellow in the trunks is my late brother in law. My eldest sister died recently, and when looking through the archives I found this, and their children wondered where it was taken. She, and two of her children live(d) in Perth WA so 1950s English seaside holidays are a bit different to those that their families enjoy down there.
All help appreciated. Normal service will return late pm.

31 years living at Broadstone, opposite the [size=78%]old Grafty Green garden centre gave me a feeling for the locale.[/size]

Thank,s Beachbum.  Definitely worth a Visit if only to visit the Time Tower and the Castle and the nice Pubs. Was holding off hoping some new blood would have a guess.
Next one.
 Heres a rural scene. Where did I spot this tree at the roadside?

After following a number of false trails, here's the location:

• Nat Grid:               TR3763752810
• Post:                     Deal Delivery Office, Stanhope Rd, Deal CT14 6AA
• Coords (WGS84)  51°13'30"N 001°24'07"E or (WGS84)    51.22498,1.40203

Must visit Deal one of these days, I don't think I've ever been there.

[Beachbum]

Spot on grandarog. Over to you...........

[grandarog]

No takers so it's .
The deal Post Office Stanhope Road Deal. We passed it on the way into town after we had visited the Time Building with the ball on top.

[grandarog]

It's about Time someone got this one.

[Beachbum]

It's a fair Deal.............

"Dover is very warm" - not when I've visited it!
So, we are looking for a building society or post office in a town near to, and smaller than, Dover.  So:

• Deal
• Whitfield
• Folkstone
• Walmer
