Guess the Place

[John Walker]

John Walker. That's a ridiculous amount. In Scotland you can get a salmon license for that sort of money & I doubt that there are salmon there. Boring is when you can't eat what you have caught!

Dave,  I believe much of the waters are stocked with trout but the main attraction is the enormous carp and pike in the waters.  John

It is, JW well done as the side view is not so obvious, the road runs past the front.


Built about 1908, baptism was performed there, most of which were recorded as being born at Gill House rather than the Union Workhouse. I didn’t use that as a clue as Google took you straight to the right answer.


Over to you...

[John Walker]

To keep things moving, I'll now go for it.

East Ashford Workhouse Chapel, Willesborough.    51.14432906791397, 0.9068021013366051

Not Chartham, Diapason. Go South(ish)

[Diapason]

Former Prim. Methodist Chapel, Chartham?

[John Walker]

Found it but I'll hold back for now. 

[johnfilmer]

Pretty close JW, it started as a parish workhouse, then later a Union Workhouse, eventually being called an Institution or Hospital.

[John Walker]

Would the large building be an asylum?

[johnfilmer]

It’s next to, and originally associated with a large building, that from this angle (the side) is behind it.

Martin, old OS maps only start to show a lake of that sort of footprint in the late 1960s, so as JW says, it looks as though it has been engineered to give a better fishing experience. Personally only went fishing once, never been so bored...
Meanwhile, back at the Quiz - where is this converted chapel? It is beside what is now an A road.

Thanks John for that one.  The camera must have been at about:

• WGS84:     51°14'29"N, 000°58'27" or 51.2414,0.9743
• Post code: CT4 8EF
• Nat'l grid:   TR 07703 53338

From the official listing, https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1234921?section=official-list-entry, I see that "The interior of the mill is remarkably complete with paddle wheel,stones, grain bins and hoppers."  do you know if the mill is open to visitors?  The official website only seems to be interested in fishing.  Also, there is an odd, almost heart-shaped ring of water just over half a mile away ENE at TR 08831 54049, just N of Pickelden Lane.  Do you know anything about this?  It's not a lake, so I assume it's not part of Stour Valley Fishing Complex nor yet Chilham Mill Fishery.  Just curious!

I don't think the mill is open to visitors - certainly not seen anything about it.   The ring of water is part of the private fishing and I understand the water is still, to give a feel of canal fishing.  I believe a lot of the area is under the control of South East Water and the Chilham Water Treatment Works is along that road.  Everywhere in that area appears to be private.  Annual membership for Chilham Mill Angling Syndicate is £1,400 !!!!

You mentioned Julliberrie's Grave.  There is an article in Wikipedia about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julliberrie's_Grave and the official scheduling record is available online: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1013000?section=official-list-entry

I think that is Chilham Mill behind the camera position.

Well done John Filmer - spot on.  Quite a nice spot.  A footpath continues past the front of the cottage (Mill Cottage) and heads up onto the downs and Juliberries Grave.
Julliberrie's Grave, also known as The Giant's Grave or The Grave, is an unchambered long barrow located near to the village of Chilham in the south-eastern English county of Kent. Probably constructed in the fourth millennium BCE, during Britain's Early Neolithic period, today it survives only in a state of ruin.


I haven't found out who is actually buried in this barrow.
