Maybe Butchery Row, Canterbury?

This building still stands, but far removed from butchery.

Spot on Diapason.
The Former Gas Works Office in Boundary Road, Ramsgate. It has been derelict for years.

Being a Grade 2 listed Building, it remains after the whole gasworks site was cleared for development.
It will have the ugly 1960's extensions removed and turned into Apartments.
A new ALDI store is about to open on the site of the Gas Holders (11 metres deep).
Over to you.............

Good evening all.
The Sewage works had me stumped and could not locate.
So another Building for you?

Or to give it its proper Roman name 'Portus Lemanis'  :)

Is it worth mentioning that Lympne Castle is the medieval and later one on the hillside to the right, whilst Stutfall Castle is the Roman Shore Fort wall remains to the lower left (the sinuous broken pale line on the sloping hillside).

Darn it, I thought that would have lasted longer. On the right tracks John Walker, it was actually taken from Dymchurch Sewage Works.


Tucked well out of the way, Dymchurch Works is really only visible from the RH&DR which runs close by.


Beachbum has it....

I'm pretty sure Beachbum has it right.    Taken near Lone Barn, Lower Wall Road, Hythe?  Not sure what the object in the front of the pic is.  Looks like something on a water treatment plant?
