Guess the Place

[MartinR]

Would the area that has been filled in and built upon have been a mill pond?

[John Walker]

A road that heads toward this warehouse is named after what was here previously.

[John Walker]

An adjacent area has been filled in and part built on.

[John Walker]

We've discussed an area very close to this location before.

[John Walker]

Not a river but there is a named stream nearby.  I'm never sure of exactly where the Greensand Ridge border actually is.  The maps I've found are not very helpful.  However it is near the Greensand Way.

[johnfilmer]

Obviously on a fair gradient, so options include the Greensand Ridge or a drop down to a waterway such as the Stour, where many a mill was to be found, needing storage?

[John Walker]

Mid Kent.  South of M20

Next one ...

Where is this warehouse?  It still exists but the reason it was built for has now gone.

[John Walker]

No problem MartinR - bad description by me.  It was the vault under the walkway that made me think of Canterbury Cathedral.  Interesting fact about the vault acting as a sound system.

[MartinR]

Sorry to be picky John, but the roof is the wood and slate construct over head.  The vault is the stone and concrete structure you are walking over.  there's a good reason for the stone vault over the quire.  Sound from the choir, particularly the high voices of the choristers, is reflected by stone but absorbed by wood.  The vault therefore acts as a medieval sound system, and in addition can make it sound like the angels are providing the upper line.

[John Walker]

Wow!  I wasn't expecting to be correct. It just reminded me of a trip to the top of the Bell Harry Tower, Canterbury Cathedral.  There is a walkway over part of the roof that has some similarities to your photo Stewie.

Next one up later.

[MartinR]

I learnt to ring at Rochester Cathedral so have walked that passage many times.  Latterly I was been ringing at Frindsbury and acted as ringing master there.  Unfortunately I had to give up ringing "proper" bells and now content myself with handbells.  Incidentaly, the tenor at the cathedral is over 30cwt, so it is like swinging a family car around.

[Stewie]

Yes it is JohnWalker, very well done! Mrs Stewie and myself were having a go at bell ringing and it was an honour to be allowed to ring the bell at the cathedral even if the sound is electronically synthesised for practice sessions. We didn't pursue this hobby as it wasn't really for me though Mrs Stewie seemed to be doing well.
Just for Martin R, the attached picture gives some idea where in the roof we were, the 'x' is roughly where I was standing when I took the picture.
 

[John Walker]

Quick guess - in the roof space of Rochester Cathedral - heading for the tower?

[Stewie]

Thanks JohnWalker, the Cinque Ports heraldry gave me a good idea and then it was a case of narrowing down which town it was in.

My next one was taken pre covid when Mrs Stewie and myself were visiting somewhere we had never been before so where did I take this picture and for a bonus point where were we going?
