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.

Having trouble in successfully posting an image since my laptop has undergone alterations. Please would another member continue as, following two hours of struggling, I have had to give-up.

A good one Beachbum.  I liked the clue even if I did go in the wrong direction with it.  What a coincidence that your clue was also the title of a book by a person with Thanet as a surname.
