Guess the Place

[MartinR]

Here's one that some of you may know instantly, the others will have to work on!  It's a Commonwealth War grave, but where?

All yours MartinR. Used to sit up there or  Jacksons on a Sunday in the 50s with all the other kids watching the coastal traffic return. Simpler times.

That's the shelter between the clock and the St Catherines Hospital alms houses at the top of Star Hill, Rochester.  The photograph is taken from a funny little appendix of City Way:

• Nat Grid:                    TQ 74648 67901
• Nearest Post Code:   ME1 2AA
• WGS84:                     51°22'60"N  000°30'30" or 51.38329,0.50839

I suppose I should add that those are the new almshouses dating from the late 1790, the original hospital was on the High Street and was founded in 1315 by Symond Potyn.  The current buildings are listed grade II.

Thanks Lutonman. It had stuck in my mind from a previous GTP as Mickey Pearce from Only Fools and Horses attended the reopening a few years back.


Next one. A  familiar site to those that know....

[Lutonman]

Well done Shoot999 and over to you.

• Nearest Post Code:  ME3 7AS
• WGS84:                    51°24'56"N 000°27'34"E or 51.41548,0.45935

I remember this from a previous GTP. I'll hang back for a while to make sure I've got something suitable to put up if no one else calls it in the meantime.

Not Snodland go North

[John Walker]

Snodland?

[Lutonman]

I'll give it until tomorrow and then add a clue.

I wouldve got the Mote Park one if I had logged in sooner! Since lockdown ended I have been there nearly every day apart from in the recent rainuness.

Nice Pub ,been there. Will hold off for a while unless the thread stalls.

[Lutonman]

Thanks MartinR, I think I have a very similar shot of the lake.


Now for this one away from the water.

[MartinR]

Sorry Lutonman, I should have replied earlier but other events have had my attention today.  Yes, it is Mote Park, taken from my Kayak in the middle of the lake.
