Guess the Place

[stuartwaters]

Thank you. Unfortunately, I've been at work since Friday night in Hastings, right next to the beach. This is the best I can do. What and where is this? Little clue to start you off, ME postcode area.

[grandarog]

I think as I only needed Brittania Refined metals as the answer and Stuart came up with it first ,on the 15th as arbiter, and heeding MartinR's post, I will give it to
            stuartwaters.


Over to you for the next teaser 

[MartinR]

Oh, and first Stuart, then John identified the place before I posted any co-ordinates, it was only then that I managed to find it, so I think the honours goes to Stuart.

Quite agree Stuart.

[stuartwaters]

I think I found it first, though Martins answer was more complete than the rules demand. It was your pic Grandarog, whose go is it now?

[John Walker]

This is how I found quickly - GSV 3D.  Picked it out quite quickly as I worked along the riverside.
I didn't go for it as I've had quite a few lately and running short of material.  Have managed to put a few together since, so ready to go on the next one - assuming I guess it of course 

[grandarog]

MartinR ,sorry if I caused confusion .My Guess photo wasn't taken from GESV it was from a publicity pack produced while I was working there. For all I know the asbestos shed behind the brick building may well have been demolished  by now The one on street view looks tin clad and much lower than i remember.

[MartinR]

I agree that the building is on GSV, it's just that the particular shot you used isn't.  Specifically one which shows the roof line of the building behind superimposed and apparently belonging to the brick building.  Frankly though it doesn't really matter, being on GSV is not a requirement, and both Stuart and John found it.  I'd never have found it without their assistance (looking in the wrong place) but once they pointed it out I got there.  It was a good puzzle though, for it shows how these souless modern industrial estates can still hide historical buildings within them.  Thanks.

[grandarog]

There is no problem seeing the building on SV,. Look to the right from where Lower Road joins manor Way .The Brick Building with the Antemnnas is just behind and to the left of the main Reception building.

I've been up and down Manor Way virtually and can't get the same shot, so I'm afraid I've got to agree with John, I can't find the view on GSV.

Brittania Refined Metals .Northfleet. It is on street view quite clear from Manor Way.


Your turn MartinR

I've tried numerous GSV and Google Earth  views from different years and I cannot get the view that you show Grandarog.  Now I'm curious. 

[grandarog]

I've worked there on their drains. Britannia Refined Metals in Northfleet.

I worked there for 18 mths .2 showers a day .Pb Blood test every month. Never been so clean in my life as then

I can't give a camera location because that particular view is not on GSV.

[John Walker]

I noticed that their jetty still has rail tracks and a mini-turntable.
