Guess the Place

For MartinR..............
Please see the location of the Turntable. Now it is a roundabout by Weatherspoons and the New Development.The Lift is still present for reference.

Gallaher's Blaize Farm Plant  at the end of Quarryman's Lane near Kings Hill west Malling. Less than 30 years old.

I just thought of large railway junctions and used google earth. My wife's uncle work up there for a number of years.


Going to try a google earth picture. This one is off a main road in West Kent what is the area on the left. Try and name it correctly.

Looks like Hoo Railway junction and Depot

That was quick Lutonman. Over to you. 😁

Is that the scrub land at TR 38647 64863?
EDIT:  I should have been clearer, is the Ramsgate turntable now the scrub land at TR 38647 64863?

[John Walker]

Thanks Beachbum.


I searched all over for Yuma without success.


Next one ..


What and where?

[grandarog]

No idea about Yuma.Maybe it was to do with the Mechanical Elephant that used to walk up and down at Margate. The gentle man presumably Yuma certainly looks to be Eastern by his dress.
The Margate Wetherspoons is named after it.The period of the photo would fit.

Spot on JW Please see attached image of the Location.

The mystery is that I have no idea who or what Yuma is, perhaps someone out there will?

Otherwise over to you JW

[John Walker]

Is that the end of Ramsgate beach station where the turntable was?  Can't find any record of Yuma - was he a circus performer?

[Beachbum]

Yes JW

[John Walker]

Coastal ?

[Beachbum]

Thanks Lutonman.
Back in the days of local companies that you could deal with a person direct and not a call centre................



Okay, the next one has a clue within. So where and who?

[Lutonman]

Yes, you have it beachbum. That was a clue in my Canterbury treasure trail.


Over to you

[Beachbum]

The former Sun Alliance Office, the Parade, Canterbury?
