Sorry, thread hijack.  There may be a problem with postings.  I've twice tried to post to the Chatham Intra Synagogue thread and it just hangs for a hour or two, then tells me I've alread posted the message, even though it never gets through.

Just posted there myself with no issues. Try again?

Is that the High Street you speak of between the railings and the front of the house? Or is the High Street the photographers side of the railings?

[KeithG]

stuartwaters.......sadly no it has been replaced with others in the same High Street with new builds.


John Walker...nothing to do with Faversham


Water very nearby.

[John Walker]

Anything to do with Faversham Creek ?

[stuartwaters]

The building looks like it's seen better days. Is it still standing?

[KeithG]

Thank you for that John Walker......i didn`t really latch on until i thought of WW1, went down Remembrance Road on GSV and there it was in front of me.


Next one is what is this house called and what did it`s owner do?

[John Walker]

That's the place KeithG - Called The Custom House

Well worth a visit to the renovated Harbour Station and Arm.  Good to see it rescued.  I thought it was going to be completely demolished at one point.


Very popular on sunny days

The clues:

Sadnesses -
1. The troops going to the trenches in WW1 from the station and harbour arm.
2. Refugees arriving there with nothing but pieces of carpet to keep them warm.  they were called The Rug People and there is a statue/memorial to them between the platforms.
3. The loss of steam trains heading into the station.

Over to you

Folkestone Harbour Arm

[John Walker]

CAT - The building is still in use today although not for the original purpose.  It's part of a much larger structure, much of which still remains and has been renovated.


KeithG - At least three types of sadness. 


Many who passed here were on a one way journey.
Others had been displaced.
A loss of something nostalgic.


A box of levers is nearby.


That should do it

[KeithG]

What type of sadness?

[CAT]

Is this a fragment of a building no longer there? It looks as if it has been removed to the left of the pic and smoke is rising from behind?

[John Walker]

KeithG - Not Canterbury


Cat -  Not Dover...


Clue - Carpets

[KeithG]

Canterbury?
