I'm away most of this week so my replies might be delayed.  I'll look in as much as possible.


Further clue:  Top of a hill.  That should do it.  :)

Thanks Diapason


The picture rang a bell when I saw it so as you say, probably from the old forum.  I lived in Minster for a number of years and Laundry Road was where we used to watch the Manston Air Shows from (Free of charge and no traffic jams).




Next one ...  Which church is this font to be found in ?

Yes the old Minster Laundry where my Grandfather was the engineer in the very early 1900s.


shoot999 -  I think I used this pic. on the former KHF


As it is today, possibly the same`van` on the Ramsgate sands.

I have a feeling that this was the original laundry at the top of Laundry Hill in Minster, Ramsgate?

It was sheer luck, Granderog.

As soon as I saw the photo, the only thing that came to mind was the old footbridge but I certainly wasn`t certain and was extremely surprised that my guess was correct


Next offering  -  this building no longer exists but another business is on the same site. This framed photo was shown to me when I visited a few years ago as I had a family connection.

Well Diapason for "not having a clue" You are spot on. It certaimly is the centre section of the old footbridge now long gone.
Here it is being dismantled and craned away for scrap.


Your Turn.

I really haven`t a clue, but it does remind me of one of the footbridges over the railway line at Sittingbourne Railway Station. Possibly the `old` one.

You have it Grandarog, Glad the clues helped.


Over to you


The Chalybeate Spring at Tunbridge Wells

Princess Victoria, later
Queen Victoria, drank the waters every day during her stay in Tunbridge Wells in 1834. She and her mother, the Princess Victoria, Duchess of Kent, would pay a visit to the spring and then stroll along the Pantiles. The water contains a significant level of dissolved mineral salts, with iron and manganese contributing to its characteristic flavour.
The Spire Southampton Private Hospital in Chalybeate Close, Southampton, UK was formerly known as The Chalybeate Hospital until 2007. Content of the chalybeate waters from Tunbridge Wells
