Guess the Place

[MartinR]

Found it at last!  It's in Clearwater Mews.  I see what you mean about the brick courses, but I think that's just Google stitching photos together.  The link JW posted shows rather more rational brickwork, click on photo 7 to enlarge it.  For anyone trying to find it, and who needs a bit more help than "just off Stour Street", I've dug out the following locators:

• Address: 47 Stour Street CT1 2LZ (but note that on GSV you need to go into the Mews).
• Grid ref: TR 14599 57625
• WGS84: 51°16'38"N 001°04'32"E

You have it JohnFilmer.  The office for St Mildred's Tannery.  Not sure why it's now been re-named The Old Rectory.  Perhaps it was previously the rectory for the nearby St Mildred's Church. 


The whole of Canterbury would share the rather unpleasant aroma from the tannery right through to the 70s.  My father worked there after the war.  I always knew when he had arrived home.  The aroma must have got into his skin.  I didn't bother me though.  It was just Dad.  It was good when he later got a job at Lucas CAV  in Rochester.  He didn't smell of dead cows anymore.


The whole area of the tannery is now residential.

Over to you ...

It looks as though the office for Connolly Leather has morphed into The Old Rectory, just off Stour Street. "Interesting" brick courses!

A Scottish comedian might help you.

The product was very prestigious.

Canterbury?

Yes - it's Canterbury.  Should be fairly easy now

Canterbury?

The business that is was the office for closed some years back.  The business had been in existence for around 200 years.

I don`t know how you do it, JW !!


My Mum and Dad were married there and I was christened there.


Over to you.

I don't get out much  .   I must admit that I really enjoy the hunt and learn quite a bit along the way.  It was the only church I could find in Sittingbourne that didn't look ancient.


Next one.  Can be seen on GSV.

Quick guess. The Methodist Church?

[Diapason]

Yes! Sittingbourne.


Shouldn`t be too difficult to find now.

[John Walker]

Struggling with this one - little to go on despite numerous searches.  Sittingbourne ?

[Diapason]

Not Ramsgate, JW and the style is total different.   Swale area.
