Guess the Place

[MartinR]

Beat me to it John, my thoughts were village or church hall.

[John Walker]

Village Hall ?

Sports facility of some sort?

Not a medical centre but serves a community.

Thank,s Beachbum


Heres my next one .
Clue to start you off Swale area.

[MartinR]

I've just had a look at the chart for the area.  There are three cables marked as running out from Dumpton Gap.  One seems to just peter out, but the other two run right across the chart in the general direction of Belgium.  There is, however, an annotation next to them: "Area of disused cables".  Well below my maximum anchoring depth though!

That was a good one Beachbum.  Very interesting too.

You have it grandarog. So this is at Dumpton Gap, Broadstairs.Othe cables have been layed in more recent times.

Sorry, have been away from the PC for a couple of days. I'll always join in when I can if only to help others locate the general area of the GTP.

[MartinR]

Strange.  Signs like that are usually placed to warn shipping about the cables, specifically so that they don't anchor in the vicinity.  Anyhow, the location of the hut behind the sign is:

• Nat'l Grid:                 TR 39528 66680
• Nearest Post Code: CT10 1TJ
• Lat,Long (WGS84):  51°20'55"N, 001°26'18"E or 51.348686,1.438354

      Found it at last. I knew I had seen the picture before,just a case of trawling to try and find it again. It's on the Broadstairs History Site.
      It shows workman hauling the undersea cable to the exchange hut at the top of the cliffs at Dumpton Gap to complete the lines connecting England and Belgium. It was supposedly completed in 1914 but some suggest it was 1926.

Now I have access back on the Site (thanks Stuart), I have checked back on previous answers that I missed.Apologies to Lutonman, you were in the right area. Have another go Lutonman?

[Beachbum]

So MartinR is close and Stewie is the wrong direction..........
