JW was the first to get the Gillingham Street Angels on Jenkins Dale (the Yorkshire-related clue). My wife works for them as manager at their cafe on the Victory Pier estate in Gillingham. They are, unfortunately, a growing charity whose services really shouldn't be needed in 21st Century Britain.


The warehouse on Jenkins Dale is used to store donations of food from supermarkets (mainly Morrisons and Marks and Spencer). These are then distributed from their food bank at the top of Skinner Street in Gillingham. It's also used to store donated furniture and other items to be given away to those in dire need or sold on in their shops to raise money.


I have suggested to Neil Charlick, the CEO and co-founder of the charity that the pump be recovered, at least cosmetically restored and then sold for thousands.

Found thatnks to you guys.  Pump is at:
  • Nat Grid:                TQ 75999 67189
  • Co-ords (WGS84): 51°22'35"N, 000°31'39"E or 51.376473,0.527429
I've not given a nearest post code, since that might be Chalk Pit Road, which would be misleading.

Same here. Must have been up and down this road half a dozen times these last few days and never spotted it in the background. I assumed the clue was Jenkins' Dale as that's the address used by the properties in that area and on the street signs.

That really was a stinker  ;) .

Gillingham Street Angels (Better Life Assemble on GSV),  Jenkins Dale, next to L&N Radio.  The pump is in the background - a tiny blip on GSV  :D .


Not sure of the Yorkshire Clue though.

I'm glad the "Guess the Place" crew are having to work for their lunch on this one (in the nicest possible way).


Not Dale Street John but getting there....


Time for another clue and this one might give it away. The large warehouse to the left of it, out of shot, is now used by a heavenly charity.


To win this one, I want the address and the name of the charity.

Dale Street, Chatham ?


Struggling with this one.  I'm not sure if the Yorkshire clue relates to a road name or a company name etc.  Not an area that I'm very familiar with.  Will keep trying  ;D

That's a pretty wide clue!  Hills, dales, mountains, valleys, fields, plains, fells for starters.

There is chalk In the background, so it must be close to Chatham Hill.

To be honest, I don't know. The pump is in front of what is now a warehouse.


Time for a clue methinks. The name of this place is reminiscent of the Yorkshire countryside.

Would that be a bus depot or a military depot?

Not a service station, more a former depot. Not far from Chatham Hill.
