Interesting.  No electrification, so therefore worked by diesels.

Hi all, sorry to have gone a bit awol, it was a bit warm... so I spent today either in the garden under a sunshade, or in the garage, all the doors open for ventilation soldering components onto a pcb. More of that another time.
Meanwhile a little train related question - where is this?
I couldn't show the view further to the left as the bridge ID was very clearly visible - twice.

Berkley Crescent.


You have it John.  Seems a bit out of place in today's Gravesend.  Perhaps Gravesend was a much grander place in days gone by.  Perhaps a case of another town being wrecked by planners, or did it suffer badly in the war?


I'll leave the co-ordinates to MartinR as he is much better at it than me.  :)


Over to you ...

Gravesend?


Yep!   :D   Gravesend it is.   Shouldn't be too difficult now.

Would Maidstone be any closer to the GTP than Tunbridge Wells?


Further north of T/Wells.  This architecture seems slightly out of place (at least to my way of thinking)

Wild guess, Tunbridge Wells?


Not Pantiles or Tunbridge Wells Beachbum, although I can see why you might think it is.


You need to head in a northerly direction ...
