I think we are now playing!

My offering has an ecclesiastical connection. Only a few miles from the county town.

johnfilmer, I was indeed on Sheppey that day, not too famous for its cobbled tramways...

[johnfilmer]

Simply a guess - are you on Sheppey?

jimawilliams, thanks.
I am not familiar with the area, and would not have guessed it without your "Upnor Castle" clue.
And, since the cricket field no longer exists, modern maps and Google Earth would not have helped.
I incorrectly started looking for footbridges over railways.


Anyway, I was here a couple of years ago. That is my bike, not a lightweight railway maintenance vehicle. Where was I?

Ok maybe time for a clue.  Approximately west, one kilometre from a castle, an  Elizabethan artillery fort that overlooks the River Medway.

You have it Jimawilliams, the very place


The old lime water softening plant behind and to the left of this building is now converted to a very distinctive house.


Over to you.
