Guess the Place

[KeithG]

Yes you have it John


Can't do pics as on my mobile but they overlook the Thames and Medway Estuary from the end of Chapel Road Grain

The larger cottage on this end is called"Medtha House" 


Over to you.....

[John Walker]

Coastguard Station, Isle of Grain ?

[KeithG]

CAT.... I did wonder if a building must of been between them as it must be the fairly obvious answer?


Yes they are Coastguard Cottages but where?

[CAT]

They look like Coastguard cottages?


Reason for driveway and passage beneath building in the previous GTP is until at least the early twentieth century there was a building where the driveway was meaning the only access to the yard behind was through the passage under the building. Driveway building gone by 1960.

Near water

Thanks for that shoot999,


I do remember the green and cream colours and was scratching my head about it......that is why i decided just to go along here on Google Earth.


Like yourself this was all my area in the 60`s....i too wondered why a drive through gate?


Next one is this row of houses.....where are they and what was the purpose?

[shoot999]

I do believe it is here......opposite "Summers" the office business in Rochester/Chatham High Street

Thats it KeithG. The building and the surrounding area-Chatham Intra-always fascinated me when I walked that way from work in the 60s. Looked like a wooden storehouse or something from the side, but just a straightforward building from the front. Although I always wondered why it had a drive through. 
Probably one of the first High Streets to become run down, although I see a number of artisans have moved their workshops into the area, with the council looking to restore the area to some former glory based around the old Art Deco Featherstones/Spemco building.
Over to you.

I do believe it is here......opposite "Summers" (that was) the office business in Rochester/Chatham High Street

The river  is the Medway which is just out of site, but very close by; but not the Strood side. And not an industrial estate.

[John Walker]

On the industrial estate, Commissioners Road, Strood ?

[CAT]

I was implying by the side of, or close to, a river as opposed to a place called Riverside in my previous post . Is the river its close to The Medway?

[shoot999]

It can be seen on GSV and  the river can also be seen from the same GSV viewpoint. Located on  a reasonably busy thoroughfare and close to a number of recent GTPs.

[DaveTheTrain]

It looks like Rye Harbour.

[KeithG]

Can it be seen on GSV?

[John Walker]

Conyer Creek?  ( Not sure if a creek is classed as a river)
