Walmington on Sea? Private Pike front and centre.  :) :)


However, how about Hythe?

Thanks JW.

Funny how a unfortunate Fire turns into Luxury Apartments in Coastal Towns?
Next one is a Coastal shot, but where?

You have it Beachbum, The Bun Penny, previously The Royal Hotel.  I had a few drinks in there in the 80s/90s.  Very tired inside and in need of a major facelift.  The fire was rather fortuitous ;)

Photo shows what is there now.

The Bun Penny that burnt down 1st September 2011.

Location was Central Parade, Herne Bay. Opened in 1899 as The Royal Hotel and changed the name in 1972.
Now the site of a £3 million development of Apartments.

Diapason - a tad too far east.


JohnFilmer - It no longer exists but the building can be seen on earlier versions of GSV.




Became a popular pub under a different name until a fire destroyed it.

Does the building still exist, and if so is it visible?

Since I had no idea where Egerton was, perhaps some others won't:

Thanks JohnFilmer


Another good one that had me scratching my head.  I just couldn't be certain of the area covered by the Greensand Ridge.




Next one ...


Unless a member recognises it straight away, I think questions and clues might be needed.
