Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Got it - Canterbury Congregational in Guildhall Street.  I've never seen a photo of the interior.  Quite impressive.  I wonder why it was demolished, although the frontage still remains.


I can't find any reference to the organ though.

St Thomas Canterbury?

[Diapason]

Knowing your location (from the previous Forum)  -  NEARER HOME.
You must have walked past the original site of this building many times, where fragments of it have been used in another, but completely different construction.
A few years ago, I researched the history of  the organ and obtained the photo from an author who lives nearby.

Quick stab - Dover?

[Diapason]

Here`s one especially for you John!


The interior of a building that no longer exists. The organ still exists (although now unrecognisable, having been rebuilt) in a building about a mile away.

[John Walker]

You have it Diapason


Another 'must visit' church.


Over to you

[Diapason]

St. Peters, Monks Horton?

[John Walker]

Kent Downs again.

[John Walker]

Thanks Diapason,


In hindsight I probably should have left it a bit longer to give others a chance, sorry.




Next one - another church!


Rural

[Diapason]

Well !! I thought it would last  longer than that  -  I think I used the same photo on the `old` forum GTP.


Over to you, John.

[John Walker]

I'm sure it's

Badlesmere, St. Leonard's Church.  I came across reference to a multi tier pulpit when searching for a previous GTP.

[Diapason]

Phew!
That took some finding. I recognised it immediately as I had walked past that place a few times, but just could not remember where..
I hope this one won`t cause too much trouble.

Where is this two tier pulpit?

[pete.mason]

It is indeed Maidstone Boys Grammar School, Barton Rd . Built IIRC 1929  in spite of it's looks.

[Diapason]

I`ve still no idea what this place is, but have found it on Google Earth (after hours of searching) at the junction of St. Phillips Avenue and Barton Road, Maidstone.


Edit.  Have just discovered that it`s Maidstone Boys Grammar School.
