Guess the Place

[KeithG]

Just a guess but is that Speldhurst Church  Tunbridge Wells the fire was caused by lightning?

[CAT]

Many thanks KeithG, I was thoroughly on its case without the SAGA connection, but it did help.

Here is my next, but where and when?

[Invicta Alec]

I thought Capital Letters would secure the location to somebody and yes CAT it is now Folkestone Bus Station.

Living around the edge of Folkestone, I should have got this one! 


Alec.

The Now picture is the same NSEW aspect as my scan North to the top of the page but of course is nothing to do with it`s location.
You can see the Saga building opposite the Bus Station.


Over to You.......

[CAT]

Is it the former Bouverie Square, Folkestone, from the southwest (about midday in the summer months) which was partially demolished to form Folkestone bus station and the old headquarters to SAGA holidays before they moved to Sandgate?

[KeithG]

No not Gravesend Alec


As said turning into a bit of a SAGA?

[Invicta Alec]

Not digging too deep?


Are we talking Gravesend here? 


Alec.

[KeithG]

No not Margate John


This is becoming a bit of a saga......

[John Walker]

Hawley Square, Margate ?

[KeithG]

Sorry John not Ramsgate...


All the trees are now gone.

[John Walker]

Has a look of Ramsgate.


La Belle Alliance Square ?

[KeithG]

I fully agree with what you say but my meaning of
"too deep" does not at all help the location of the guess

[MartinR]

The shadow is short which implies near midday, hence my approximation.  Certainly between 1000 and 1400 local, probably 1100 to 1300.  You've got tennis courts marked out on what appears to be grass and the trees are in full leaf so probably summer.  Not much digging at all.

[KeithG]

Not being rude at all but sometimes digging tooooooo deep is not the easiest way!


As it happens the picture is North to the top of the page but the shadows depend what time of day it is which i thought would be obvious


Even if the North was not top of the page the South West of the picture is surely roughly 40 mins past 12 ?

The shape of what you see is basically the same just newer buildings

[MartinR]

"Natural navigation" would suggest that south lies to the bottom right of the picture.  Look at the shadow cast by the post bottom centre.
