On April 20th, 2020 I think! KeithG used an image of a house in the Guess-the-Place section. Was this the home of Irish inventor, Louis Brennan and earlier James Jezreel? Hoping it is The Woodlands of Gillingham where Brennan did several tests for his inventions.
Sorry I can't seem to repost the image, to show you.
Thank you
Mike

Living close by, we often visited Woodlands before WW2 when it was a museum. The curator would silently follow us to ensure we behaved- it probably made his day for it was never busy. During the war, it became the local ARP centre & I joined the messengers, cycling, on my Dad's bike, to outlying posts.

An interesting place, The Woodlands it seems.

Trying again, please?
This photograph was posted by KeithG on April 20th, 2020. He is no longer a member of this forum and can't be contacted. I wonder if anyone can positively ID this image? I think it is The Woodlands, the home of James Jezreel and later Irish inventor Louis Brennan. In some later photographs taken in the garden ( 12 acres ), Brennan can be seen standing next to his mono-rail invention. In the background, I think the same white greenhouse structure can be seen.
Grateful for help please?
Thanks

I saw that a few weeks ago. By viewing the painting and this photograph helped confirm I had the right house. Also Gillingham library confirmed.
Many thanks
