[KeithG]

Yes, coastal...

The only buildings remaining are those on the South West side.

Interesting buildings and layout. Coastal?

[KeithG]

Thanks for that John.


I lived in Birchington for a few years and worked in a Ramsgate Shopfitting Company. No idea why a Gasometer there?


This is another newspaper scan....but where?

[John Walker]

You have it KeithG.  I believe it is or was at Bromstone Farm.  CAT - you are correct with gasometer base.  The main tank appears to have already gone by 1940.

I'm not sure why a gasometer would have been sited in that semi-rural location although it is on the perimeter of the long gone Ramsgate Airport.



It has more recently been used a reservoir for the farm. 


As this is Guess the Place, the location takes priority so over to you KeithG 

[KeithG]

It is to the East of Pysons Road near where i used to live in the early 1980`s ?


Bit more overgrown now.

I have a vague recollection that I've worked near this, but can't remember where or what it was for. I keep getting drawn to the Manston, Thanet area and it's the base of a gasometer? I'll have to search better for a more precise location and function.

[John Walker]

Not military CAT .   It's location seems a bit rural for what it was originally built for.  There might have been an aviation connection though.

[CAT]

Military?

[John Walker]

Thank you MartinR  Another one that took some finding


Next one ...


Where and what?

[MartinR]

Not quite.  On the Strand, Gillingham which is why Hoo Island appears as such a bank.

[John Walker]

Well done.  Any idea where I was taking photos?

From a high point on St Mary's Island with a telephoto ?

[MartinR]

Well done.  Any idea where I was taking photos?

[John Walker]

St Werburgh Church, Hoo ?

[MartinR]

Sometimes!  Well twice a day to be precise.

[John Walker]

Is there a river between the bank and the church ?
