First, thanks to Stuart

Second, thanks for the link Local Hiker, it has all the location information and saves me a job!

I haven't solved the GTP yet, but it is clearly a heritage line.  "General Manager", semaphore signals, in commission manual signal box and bullhead rail.

Thank you John. I added a map to my post just to clarify.
I am a bit uncomfortable using Google Lens for GTP, but such software and tools are the way of the world these days. Look how AI software and systems are developing.

Anyway, the next GTP photo, taken just a few weeks ago. My camera seems to have smudged any identifying signage.

You have it Local Hiker.  A track to it leads from Hadlow Road (A26) , just out of Tonbridge.  It's also on the long distance path that runs alongside the Medway.

51.2010524048229, 0.29693031553839794

Over to you.

Also a thanks to Stuart from me.  I've quite missed the GTPs.

This looks similar even if it is wrong.

Thanks Stuart for getting the site up and running again.

It has had no bites in 10 days. I have found the answer using Google Lens? Before I post, is that allowed?
(Edit 26th September, clearly the site is dormant, so I will not continue interacting with GTP for now)

No security issues this morning so I'm guessing it's fixed.  :)

Local Hiker:   I've just checked with Google Lens and it gave similar results but not the right one. 

Suggest you put your guess in and see if it's correct.  At least it will get things moving again.

I can still log in if I ignore the warnings. I would not have done so if it were not for grandarog's message on September 14, 2023, 05:54:46 PM.
Let's hope that normal service is resumed soon.

Yes,  I get the security warning.  Chrome and Bitdefender.  I take a chance and override it.

(OT, but this is the most frequently read thread) Update:
  • Firefox - fail
  • Chromium - fail
  • Konqueror - OK, but with messages about the certificate
  • Opera - fail
  • Sea Monkey - fail

The security certificate expired on 8 September, I think this is something that only Stuart can handle, I've not found a way using the Admin interface.  If anyone does know the way to renew the certificate, please let me know and I'll try to do it for him.  thanks.

The sculpture is at:
  • Nat Grid:            TQ747589 / TQ7471858933
  • Nearest Post Code:   ME14 3AX
  • Co-ords (WGS84):     51°18'09.7"N 0°30'18.0"E or 51.302705,0.505008

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the web page's format?  I've tried a couple of browsers and it seems to be text only with no formatting.

Thanks Grandarog

I found that sculpture but couldn't see the parallel lines so wasn't sure.
