Guess the Place

[Local Hiker]

jimawilliams, thanks.
I am not familiar with the area, and would not have guessed it without your "Upnor Castle" clue.
And, since the cricket field no longer exists, modern maps and Google Earth would not have helped.
I incorrectly started looking for footbridges over railways.


Anyway, I was here a couple of years ago. That is my bike, not a lightweight railway maintenance vehicle. Where was I?

Ok maybe time for a clue.  Approximately west, one kilometre from a castle, an  Elizabethan artillery fort that overlooks the River Medway.

You have it Jimawilliams, the very place


The old lime water softening plant behind and to the left of this building is now converted to a very distinctive house.


Over to you.

Thanks johnfilmer for posting and good to be back on the forum stuartwaters.I admit to "Google Cheating" this one from Australia - Mid Kent Water Company Pumping Stattion, Newnham.See https://www.flickr.com/photos/22420011@N05/6191542437

I'll recuse myself from this one cos I've worked there 

[johnfilmer]

OK, I'll go for it.
A re-used image of one of the many water related buildings on the north downs - but where?

[stuartwaters]

I'm confused too. Technically, Stewie didn't answer and rightly declined when offered it and Localhiker gave the answer away anyway.


For the sake of fairness, I'd say the first to put up a photo has it and can run with it.

Greetings
I have been the Ghost in the Machine for a while, only quietly watching, as we have had house guests from America keeping us busy.
Anyway after a silly-o'clock trip to Heathrow normality may once again return.

I have yet to master 3rd party images, so may stay with simply attaching images for the moment.

So, I am confused, are we playing, or did it grind to halt after the first attempt, or is the post by Diapason a live one - if so I will need a clue or three.

[stuartwaters]

Just for info, I've now enabled image uploading (which I hadn't realised wasn't enabled - the default on this version of SMF is to have it disabled). Please see Announcements.

Just testing!
Using "postimages".
Thanks for the tip, Smiffy.

I'm using https://postimages.org at the moment. It seems to work well, you can have separate albums (they call them galleries) and I've uploaded a 4000x3000 image without issue. Clicking on an image and selecting "Share" gives lots of link options, including one specifically for forums.

I'll have a look at the images issue over the weekend. Unfortunately, I am on a long-running job miles away which requires early starts and late finishes and am monitoring the Forum on my smart phone. Please bear with me for another day or so on the images issue.


I only stated my preference for 3rd party image hosting because it reduces the space requirement on the server. If it's something (and it clearly is) which not everyone is comfortable with for whatever reason, then it's something I need to look at again, which I'll do over the course of the weekend.
