Lived less than 200 yards from this complex from the 60s to 80s. The site of the original Borstal.

You could probably hear the muted roar of traffic from here.

School or military?


Neither CAT.  Probably has educational aspects though.

Well from a quick trip to Wikipedia that looks like a hockey pitch top right.


Looks like a cross between field hockey and 5 a side football MartinR.  Multi-purpose perhaps.

Oops, should have added for those unfamiliar with Chalk Church:
  • Grid: TQ 68322 72502
  • Post: DA12 2NL
  • WGS84: 51°25'36"N, 000°25'11"E or 51.426529,0.419750
The church is not in Chalk village, but half a mile further east.  You need to look out for a small side road, Church Road, of the main A226 "Rochester Road".

Thanks CAT - An interesting one.  Your clues certainly helped a lot.


With regard to freshwater/saltwater in rivers, I read that at certain distances upriver there can be freshwater nearer the surface and saltwater at lower depths.  Both freshwater and saltwater fish can be caught along the same stretch depending on the depth you set your line at.  Not sure how true this is.


Next one up shortly ...
