Guess the Place

[CAT]

I'm very aware of the point to GTP shoot999, however, I also enjoy the challenge of clarifying as many of the clues as possible of which John Walker is very good at supplying. The place is the the railway bridge over the entrance driveway to Turkey Court and Turkey Mill, from the Ashford Road (A20) on the eastern outskirts of Maidstone. I assume the associated personalities in John Walker's clues relate to the former owners of Turkey Court and the paper mill adjacent?


I'm sure John Walker will furnish us with the answers?

Can someone clarity that guessing the place correctly means you win and its your turn. The ancillary questions are just for fun?

Hi Shoot999. 


My understanding is that guessing the correct place/location of the photo is enough to win.  The rest are clues to help find it and to add any interest.


There is also a subtle seasonal connection

I`ve been trying to fit in William Blake (of "Jerusalem" fame), but failed. So it`s back to the drawing board.

I think I have the location, but am struggling to get the personality associations. If someone beats me to it, then well done them.

To narrow down location. Just north of A20/M20?

Good question.    The bridge is about 1km south of the M20 and fractionally south of the A20.  That should narrow it down.

Mid Kent.  This view can easily be seen on GSV.

Beyond the bridge is a connection with at least two famous artists, an English poet and engraver, British Royalty, a French Statesman, Parliament, the USSR and the peace treaty with Japan.

Clue time:


A busy 'A' road that used to be even busier is behind the camera position.  The rail line on the bridge is still in daily use.  The line does not slope as it appears in the photo. It's level.      There is a rail tunnel aprox 800 metres to the right.

The road passes over a river after the bridge.
