You have it Beachbum.  The Ramsgate General Hospital, now residential.    I wondered if you would get it first.  Guessing you have connections with the area.

Deal?  Or Kingsdown?


Sorry if I've misled you MartinR,  My clues were generalising rather than specific.  Grandarog is very close but wrong town.

How precisely East (remember I'm a sailor and tend to think of bearings fairly precisely)?  As far as Dover?


Almost as easterly as you can go in Kent

Where is this and what is it's history?
