Guess the Place

[Beachbum]

Ursuline Convent at Westgate?

[Diapason]

Yes, an Institution  -  I think that you are nearly there!

[MartinR]

Institutional then?

[Diapason]

A chapel, yes, but not a "family" chapel.

[MartinR]

So is it a private family chapel then and not a church?

[Diapason]

Thanet area.

 I don`t think that this building is, or has been, open to the public.

My only visit (when I took the photo) was arranged.


A possible health hazard, thanks to the pigeons.

Don't panic Dave Smith, the new bit is the 40volt battery operation, I have had a conventional 2stroke powered chainsaw for over 40years - not the same one... Very pleased with the results.

I use an extremely sturdy metal saw bench with a pivoting clamp and shield arrangement to which the saw is attached, becoming a sort of chop saw. Freehand chainsawing is avoided.
Splitting is no longer done with a maul (wide axe) after a bit flew up and whacked me on the head, a 5ton electro-pneumatic splitter was bought a few years ago with the winter fuel allowance. Highly recommended.
Meanwhile, back in church, rough area Diapason?

[Dave Smith]

Be very wary johnfilmer, a chainsaw is NOT a toy! They slice logs- & arms!- like a knife thro' butter.

I will pass for while on this one Bryn, unless it hasn't been found by Sunday Evening. 

[Diapason]

This photo was taken nearly five years ago and the building still stands but in what state I don`t know.

[Diapason]

Local knowledge, John!
I was in the vicinity this afternoon.  As you say, there`s very little about Wrinsted Court on the internet except one photo but I can remember seeing "Wrinsted Court" on a signpost when I was about 10 years old, and that was long time ago.


 

[johnfilmer]

Well I am surprised at Diapasons quick, and very correct, answer.


There is so little detail on the internet.


I found it as an ancestor lived at Flint Barm Farm, a bit south from it.


Over to you Diapason.

[Diapason]

Wrinsted Court?

The railway connection being the miniature railway at Torry Hill, a former Forum member was/is one of the loco drivers.

[johnfilmer]

Sorry for delay, been playing with my new toy, a battery powered (but powerful) chainsaw. Logs cut and stacked, not bad for a couple of OAPs.
Meanwhile... how about this house. Demolished in the 1970s I think, and very little information readily available.
Was part of a larger, and still extant, estate with a railway connection. Mid kent, site is between M2 and M20.

At last .Well Done John Filmer. It certyainly is the Worth War Memorial. Boldly displayed in a prominent position to be seen by passing motorists. Surprised the guess lasted so long. over to you for next one .
