[MartinR]

Royal visit?

Not a legal matter, but a lot of people attending.

[John Walker]

A court hearing?

Your correct Grandarog, over to you, that was quick.

@Beachbum
Thanks very much, that does clarify things totally.  Looking at the alignments with Topp's Cafe, the lift and the Royal Victoria Pavillion (Wetherspoons) it looks to be slightly further NE than the current roundabout.  There is a curved feature centered at 100' NE at 51.33233002861004, 1.4240012779674762.  GSV (Aug 2018) shows this as a funfair, but the current satellite view (2022) shows scrub land.  Is this not more likely than the traffic roundabout at 51.33250047522633, 1.4244373818746219?
Anyhow, thanks for the help,Martin
EDIT: On further viewing I think the turntable must have occupied just the NE half of the traffic roundabout and extended into the scrub.  There's no trace left on the satellite view though, so a few yards doesn't matter. M.

For MartinR..............
Please see the location of the Turntable. Now it is a roundabout by Weatherspoons and the New Development.The Lift is still present for reference.

I just thought of large railway junctions and used google earth. My wife's uncle work up there for a number of years.


Going to try a google earth picture. This one is off a main road in West Kent what is the area on the left. Try and name it correctly.

Looks like Hoo Railway junction and Depot

That was quick Lutonman. Over to you. 😁

Is that the scrub land at TR 38647 64863?
EDIT:  I should have been clearer, is the Ramsgate turntable now the scrub land at TR 38647 64863?
