I think we are now playing!

My offering has an ecclesiastical connection. Only a few miles from the county town.

johnfilmer, I was indeed on Sheppey that day, not too famous for its cobbled tramways...

Simply a guess - are you on Sheppey?

jimawilliams, thanks.
I am not familiar with the area, and would not have guessed it without your "Upnor Castle" clue.
And, since the cricket field no longer exists, modern maps and Google Earth would not have helped.
I incorrectly started looking for footbridges over railways.


Anyway, I was here a couple of years ago. That is my bike, not a lightweight railway maintenance vehicle. Where was I?

Ok maybe time for a clue.  Approximately west, one kilometre from a castle, an  Elizabethan artillery fort that overlooks the River Medway.

You have it Jimawilliams, the very place :)


The old lime water softening plant behind and to the left of this building is now converted to a very distinctive house.


Over to you.

OK, I'll go for it.
A re-used image of one of the many water related buildings on the north downs - but where?

I'm confused too. Technically, Stewie didn't answer and rightly declined when offered it and Localhiker gave the answer away anyway.


For the sake of fairness, I'd say the first to put up a photo has it and can run with it.

Greetings
I have been the Ghost in the Machine for a while, only quietly watching, as we have had house guests from America keeping us busy.
Anyway after a silly-o'clock trip to Heathrow normality may once again return.

I have yet to master 3rd party images, so may stay with simply attaching images for the moment.

So, I am confused, are we playing, or did it grind to halt after the first attempt, or is the post by Diapason a live one - if so I will need a clue or three.
