Guess the Place

Funton Brickworks?

[MartinR]

Near the River Medway?

[John Walker]

Is it coastal water?

The water nearby is tidal but not what I would understand to be coastal at that point.

Employment had been here since the 1930s.  Closed around 2008 due to the credit crunch.

Is it coastal water?

[John Walker]

It could well be a boat but I think it's just parked there.  As far as I can find out the site was not involved with boats.

[MartinR]

I thought that looked like a boat bottom left of the big building.

[John Walker]

Near water?

Yes, MartinR - near water.

Near water?

[John Walker]

I was lucky in my search - hit the right area quickly.  I got the match on the rivers from the old map and when I moved the slider to the left, Bewl Water magically appeared.

Next one.  Where and what?  Current view.

[MartinR]

Far too fast John, you must be bored!  Well done though, I had hoped it might last a day or two.  Over to you.

[John Walker]

That had me for a while    - I reckon it's Bewl Water today?

[MartinR]

OK, another map one.  This time I've not removed any detail.  Where is this today?

[MartinR]

I'll be honest, I just put "Grand Variety theatre Kent" into a search engine (DuckDuckGo) and out popped the Gillingham theatre/picture theatre.  The odd thing was that the site mentioned it closed in 1960, was demolished in 1965, then had a nice red box inviting me to click there to book tickets!  I think I'd need a famous blue police box to see anything there.

Next one up tomorrow.

[DaveTheTrain]

Blimey, Martin.  You are quick today.  I was thinking of Luton Man when I put that one up, being Gillingham.  I tried to see if any buildings survive. I think the pub on the LHS may be the Prince Albert (possibly).

Martin, over to you.

That was lightning quick MartinR  .  It would have taken me quite a bit of searching to get that one.

Poor Lutonman - one on his patch at last and he didn't get a chance.
