Looks like Deal Castle to me.  It might have been bitter that day, that's an iron not a brass monkey. :D

That was unexpected, I changed my mind due to the number of tracks, the trucks which seemed to be filled with cement bags and the word '[font=]Rendezvous' on the notice board which couldn't have been a word used regularly at  a colliery.[/font]
[font=]Next one, a picture of my granddaughter during a rainy day out, looks a bit bleak but looking at the pile of neatly stacked cannon balls not that cold![/font]

It's your second idea Stewie.  6 February 1990.  Narrow gauge, rack railway, propelling movements (up the rack) double overhead lines (in the "M"s above the track) plus interesting PW.  quite a lot of detail.  Over to you.

Actually, looking at the dress more likely the Channel Tunnel works at Folkstone?

Here's an interesting one for you all.  Where, when (roughly), but can you spot all the unusual features?

Yes.  I knew it was an easy one, but interesting to make up for the lack of obscurity.

Thanks, I wasn't expecting that without the street.  Here is quite an easy one, I think.  Just a reminder that not all Commonwealth War Graves are laid out in nice green rows.  So where were these two taken?

steerable torpedo


There is a display at the RE museum which includes an example of the torpedo. I wish his monorail items had been retained, I believe there are models somewhere, if not the RE perhaps the Guildhall Museunm.

Ok... So i see it could be awkward if someone else got the road.
It was in Woodlands Road just up from the Infant School and was called Gillingham Museum.
Will Adams Academy now stands on the site.
Among Louis Brennans inventions was the steerable torpedo of which their is still the remains of a launching pad at Cliffe Fort.


Over to you MartinR.....
