Guess the Place

[Diapason]

That really was a stab in the dark as there wasn`t much to `go on`


I hope this one lasts a bit longer than some of my previous offerings,

You have it Diapason, Over to you.

[Diapason]

Detling?

[johnfilmer]

It’s very quiet, so a simple guess. Headcorn Aerodrome?

[grandarog]

Thanks Cat. Where did I photograph this Classic.

[CAT]

Rack no more grandarog, it is indeed Iden Green. The small building was a drinking fountain, presumably over a well (?) with a hand pump. Installed to commemorate the golden jubilee of queen Victoria.


Over to you grandarog.

[grandarog]

Been racking brains over this one. Idden green ,Biddenden . Think it might have been a wash house or covered trough.

[John Walker]

Drinking fountain?

[CAT]

Not a village fire pump MartinR, but probably more water necessary.

[MartinR]

Did the pyramid originally house the village fire pump?

[CAT]

There could be a well beneath, but water is certainly involved with this structure.

[johnfilmer]

Is/was it a well?

[CAT]

Its not a lock up Pete, though it did have a community function when first constructed as a commemorative structure

[pete.mason]

Is the pyramid roof building an old lock up?

[CAT]

Not a million miles away John Walker, but not south of Ashford and a little further away it being surrounded by the 'Dens'.
