Not Mote Park. A little further west.


And its this specific location that has the connection to the arts. Although the foreground view was somewhat changed by the great storms of 1989

It's not the aftermath of the restoration of historic views in Mote Park is it?

Is this in Bifrons Park?


No, but it is a Park and the significance is art related.

Think this one may go relatively quickly; although some may be stumped. :) So where is it; and  what is it's significance. (arguably).

You have it Shoot999
From what I can find out this was originally a row of fishermen's cottages.


And yes, Barnes Wallis looks out to sea over the roof of this cottage,

The statue of a notable person from WW2 looks over the roof of this building from behind.   The person and the building are not related.

Thanks KeithG,


I don't know the area but I found a track plan of the railway and was able to match it up with your photo.  Even the Signal Box and Signal Posts are marked and match your photo.   Looks like a great area to have spent your childhood in and around.


Next GTP up later

Yes, bang on John Walker
Chattenden Station it is with the depot behind the camera.
Those woods were absolutely full of primroses and now whenever i see a primrose even in a shop the memories always rush back.
