Guess the Place

[John Walker]

First Clue:  Quite rural but between a busy A-Road and a fairly new Wine Estate

[castle261]

Car & cycle headlight`s, had a plate with three rectangled shielded slots, over the bulb. ( Wartime )
Same with traffic lights.

Thank you smiffy


If it hadn't been for the twin gabled building on the right, I doubt I'd have found that one.


Next one ...

[Smiffy]

Yes, John Walker you have it.
   
It is indeed looking down Calverley Rd, I think this junction is call Five Ways.
 
Does anyone have any idea as to when this may have been taken? The blacked out signs indicate wartime, but the cars have unshielded headlights, so perhaps just after? This is from a collection of family photographs, but as far as I know there has never been a strong connection with Tunbridge Wells, so I have no idea who took it and why.
 
Normal service can now be resumed

Start of Calverly Road, Tunbridge Wells.  As far as I can make out, only the building behind the road sign remains at this end of the road. 

[Smiffy]

John is heading in the right direction. Not Riverhead.

[KeithG]

I have to ask cos keep thinking about it.


Any chance it is at Riverhead where there was an old A25 junction

[John Walker]

Tonbridge High Street ?

[Smiffy]

Sorry John - go south.

[John Walker]

Dartford High Street ?

Naughty boy reporting in 
 
I posted this on the old forum a long time ago as I found it in my photo collection but could not identify it myself at the time. Not sure when it was taken, but you may note that the street signs are blacked out which is not something I have done - this is unretouched from the original.

   Thats fine Keith G I was to be fair thinking of the woodyard but of Scotts yard in Medway St between the flour mills and Russells garage. Remember a big fire there in the 60s ?

Thank you for that smiler.

[KeithG]

Smiffy you did not offend me at all...... Having the need for exactness has always got me into trouble even at 71yrs    that is what happens when you have a trade that needs things to be correct.


So you answered without having your picture ready.... Your a naughty boy

KeithG, sorry if I caused you offence, I was not implying at all that you were actually being cruel or unfair. I was only joking - hence the smiley!
 
I don't usually join in with Guess the Place so I'll have to have a rummage to see what I can find. Watch this space...
