Guess the Place

[shoot999]

Saltwood Castle Hythe?

[CAT]

It does still very much exist John Walker, and in a much better condition than my pic.


Its clearly a portion to a fortification, sadly not open to the public nowadays, but was over thirty years ago.


A near coastal location where it is assumed the local trees were washed by the sea (doubtful folklore).

[John Walker]

Does it still exist?  I'm surprised I don't know this one...

[CAT]

Sadly, it’s neither Allington or Tunbridge, Pete. Or Cooling John Walker. It is not far from the coast, but at the opposite end of the County.

[John Walker]

Is this the tower that part collapsed in recent years.  Possibly a wedding venue now ?

[pete.mason]

Thought that was too obvious but worth a go    Let's try Allington if not then Tonbridge

[CAT]

I can see your thinking Pete, but you have fallen into my trap. It's not the Westgate Tower, Canterbury

[pete.mason]

Westgate Towers c'bury?

[CAT]

Many thanks John Walker


I too have been to Perry Woods, in all weathers. When my children were younger they enjoyed shuffling through the fallen leaves in autumn. Before the trees grew taller there were fantastic views into the Stour Valley from the top of timber structure known as 'The Mount' (Grid ref: TR 04385 54791).


Here is my next, but where? Certainly you can't lounge around in front of it any more.

[John Walker]

Thanks CAT


It is indeed the Rose and Crown in Perry Woods.  We have had many family picnics in Perry Woods over the years.  I video'd most of them and I'm just in the process of transferring them from tape to DVD.  The earliest are nearly 40 years old and it's quite something to see my children when they were tots and my late parents etc.


Over to you ...

[CAT]

Congratulations passing the 200th milestone John Walker.


P.S. is it the Rose and Crown, Perry Woods by any chance?

[John Walker]

Thanks JohnFilmer.  Your clues were very helpful and I would have searching over a really wide area otherwise.


It's certainly a striking building.  Must have a lot of history.




Next one ...


Where is this roadside pub?  (My 200th GTP)

[johnfilmer]

He's done it again 
It is Eastling Manor, although on old OS maps it has been Gregories (1876) and Parmiters (1908).
Over to you...

[John Walker]

At the start of Kettle Hill Road, Eastling. Not sure of the house name but I think it's Eastling Manor.

[johnfilmer]

Yes, south of M2 - so between M2 & M20
