Guess the Place

[johnfilmer]

The image is taken on the Old Dover Road, Canterbury, and would appear to be the access to a substantial old “black and white “ building, on the corner of St Lawrence Forstal. Another entrance is blocked on the corner of the two roads.

Yoakley Almhouses at Margate?

JohnFilmer, I didn't find it offensive as I guessed you meant the management of the NHS rather than the amazing guys at the coalface who have looked after MartinR so well.

Anyway -back to the GTP.

Sorry guys, my post was meant to be humourous not offensive.

Back at the plot, any further hints? Not got anywhere with it for the last hour.

JohnFilmer and MartinR,  I can see both your points.  The staff are incredible especially when it comes to the more serious conditions.  They've certainly looked after you MartinR and I'm sorry to learn of your illness.  I hope they 'keep you alive' for many more years.  With regard to your comment JohnFilmer, the current government's lack of support for the NHS, is not good enough, we deserve better.  They appear to be hell-bent on making the NHS private in the long term.  All very complicated as we never know the truth and whether media reporting is to be trusted these days.

I know it's fashionable to dish the NHS and I'm also very well aware that waiting times are far too long, however, the NHS generally and specifically both Maidstone Maritime and the Kent Oncology unit have kept me alive now for 5 years after diagnosis with aggressive metastatic prostrate cancer (oh and also dealt with a bladder tumour on the way).  There most certainly are modern functioning hospitals.

A modern functioning hospital.

Isn’t that an oxymoron?

[John Walker]

A modern functioning hospital.

[MartinR]

Is that a modern, still functioning, hospital or is it a historic hospital?

Entrance to St Mary’s, Eastwell?

Not there.  Near a hospital.

That was an interesting and informative GTP 

Next one - Easily seen on GSV

Where and what was it the entrance to?

[johnfilmer]

I worked at Lloyds Mill in Sittingbourne during the summer of 69 (there’s a song about that  ), by which time all had been sorted out at the creek a while before. My bus to school took me into the middle of Sittingbourne
High Street from 1962-9 and the smell had gone by then. I think that my early glimpse of the Creek was of white foam covering an unnatural blue liquid.

When I was there the mill was producing high quality cartridge paper, coated calendered papers for glossy magazines, and hardboard on a separate machine floor.

Edit… there is a Middletune Avenue in Milton, wondered where the name came from.

I wonder what caused the odour at the mill in Milton? 

I worked at Chartham Paper Mill and I don't recall any odour coming from there.  The mill produced tracing and greaseproof papers and was partly built over the River Stour.

[johnfilmer]

The “effluent from the paper mill” gave Milton Creek a particularly strong obnoxious odour, especially in hot weather.

I travelled to school by bus and the stink could be horrendous even at the bus stop on the A2 at Chalkwell Road in 1958 and the good summer of 1959.
