Guess the Place

[grandarog]

Don't know what the building is but it looks like Queenborough old pottery kilns in the background.

I think that this is a nice simple one, but then I know the answer...

I used to drive past that house a lot in my heating estimating days.


GSV is fine on my laptop, but WiFi is a bit iffy because of the construction of our cottage. Concrete block and beam construction for both ground and first floor means a lot of steel reinforcing rods in the exposed beams, forming a part Faraday Cage. We use plugin booster thingys and the signal in my wooden garage 20yds from the house is excellent. Not really helped by the incoming phone line being a mile of overhead from the exchange shed in the village.


I’ll post from the laptop in a while, once “She who thinks she should be obeyed” stops being the Amazon Queen

Well done JohnFilmer - Over to you.




Next door to the Cloth House that was one of my earlier GTP's

Hartnup House, Smarden
History:
Dating in part from the 15th century,
Hartnup House is an enchanting
detached property of architectural
interest and historic note and
designated a Grade II* listing. In 1671
the south east wing was added by
Matthew Hartnup, who was
understood to have been the village
apothecary and whose name is
inscribed along with the date on the
bressumer oversail. On either side
are two single petal roses of the
houses of York and Lancaster and
two carved rhinoceros, which had
strong medical associations
throughout Europe by the 17th
century. Indeed, The London
Society of Apothecaries featured
German artist Albrecht Dürer’s
rhinoceros on its crest as early as
1617 and it was believed that vessels
carved from rhino horn had the
ability to detect poisons.
Hartnup House and the beautifully
landscaped garden with the
medieval church of St Michael the
Archangel as a backdrop, has been
in the same ownership for almost 40
years

Well it's working on my machine and Johnfilmer's suggestion looks to be bang on the nail.  Pending confirmation from John Walker the location is:

• Nat Grid:                   TQ 87925 42334
• Nearest Post Code:  TN27 8QB
• Co-ords (WGS84):    51°08'58"N, 000°41'08"E or 51.14941,0.68554

GSV has fashionably gone on strike on my iPad, so I’ll be a little vague. Is it in Smarden, on Water Lane, River Beult between it and the church?

[John Walker]

Further clue.  Next to the village church.

Going back to Stuart's fuel pump for a moment, there is a local museum that might be interested in it: https://rochesterairport.co.uk/non-pilot-info/the-old-petrol-pump-museum.html

A river at the bottom of the garden.

Pretty sure I've seen this one it in a newspaper article but will hold off for a while.

[John Walker]

Right - here we go.


Name of property and location?

[DaveTheTrain]

Well done, JW  I was close in that I thought it was Jenkins dale, but had not found it. A good one,kept me guessing.

[John Walker]

Thanks StewartWaters.  On Google Maps it just shows the road as Jenkins Dl rather than Jenkins Dale.  Hence me missing the Yorkshire clue.  As you say a worthwhile charity and a great shame it is needed in this day and age.


I've seen pumps being renovated and sold on various TV programs.  Some models are in big demand by collectors.



Next one up later.

[MartinR]

They have a bit of a problem with the name.  Until a week or so when I talked to the people getting the Chatham shop ready, I had thought that they were the people who helped those who had "over-indulged".
