It is the Medway area, it is not on an island and you will not find it on GSV unless you use the satellite imagery, I can give another clue which would give it away but for the moment lets say that the photo was taken about 10 years ago and has some relevance to the Kent History Forum.

 Possibly Fort Amherst?  I haven't found the view in the GTP photo on Google Earth but it looks very similar.

Lower entrance to Fort Clarence St Margarets Street, next to the Princess of Wales Base.

A movie that I really enjoy.  Good fun identifying the locations as they drive from London to Margate.  Like a continuous GTP.   ;D


It is a good movie Johnwalker, I picked up a copy at a local charity shop a few years ago, however I tend to associate the Margate harbour arm with the 'Jolly Boy Outing' episode in 'Only Fools & Horses' which also shows Margate as I remember it in the 1980s.


For the next in my occasional forays into the GTP have a go at this one. I'm off he the Bluebell railway today but will try and monitor if I can get a phone signal!

Margate harbour arm?


You have it Stewie. Its a still from the great movie 'Last Orders'. From left to right Bob Hoskins, Ray Winston, David Hemmings, and Tom Courtenay. With Michael Caine playing the ashes.  :D   
American road movies have Route 66, but we have the A2! With stop-offs at  Rochester, Chatham and Canterbury along the way. Well worth a watch.
Over to you.

Isn't that from a TV program about 4 blokes dealing with the ashes of a friend?  Still have no idea who or where though!




A great program/film  ;D [size=78%].[/size]
