Right then, try this photo found on t'internet. Circa 1950 something, earlier rather than later in my view.
The deserted road is the A2!
There are two roads behind the camera forming a crossroads with the A2, name either as the place.

Tonge mill at:

• Nat Grid:   TQ934635 / TQ9343863566
• Post Code:  ME9 9AW
• WGS84:      51°20'18"N, 000°46'33"E or 51.33827,0.77572

It was that stack that made me think of a mill.  They used to be fairly common across the north when I was younger.

Diapason have you beaten your computer into submission and can now post pictures (I had a similar problem that just appeared, and then vanished without me understanding what I had done, or not done) feel free to jump in.
I'll wait a while, as we don't all stare at our screens all the time, not being teenagers

The only Mill that I could think of that fits is Tonge Mill, and a quick street view later, I think it is.

You have it JohnFilmer.  It is indeed Tonge Mill.  I'd never heard of it before.


Over to you ...

Yes - a mill and it still exists.  A2 not far away.

[johnfilmer]

Still exists?

[Diapason]

I`m with granderog on this one!


Hopefully I`ll `sort` my photo posting problems soon. 

[MartinR]

Some sort of a mill?

[grandarog]

Too easy for me .Will have to pass unless it becomes stagnant later.

[John Walker]

What a pain Diapason.  I have one ready so here goes.


Where and what is this place?
