Guess the Place

[MartinR]

Thanks, I wasn't expecting that without the street.  Here is quite an easy one, I think.  Just a reminder that not all Commonwealth War Graves are laid out in nice green rows.  So where were these two taken?

steerable torpedo

There is a display at the RE museum which includes an example of the torpedo. I wish his monorail items had been retained, I believe there are models somewhere, if not the RE perhaps the Guildhall Museunm.

Ok... So i see it could be awkward if someone else got the road.
It was in Woodlands Road just up from the Infant School and was called Gillingham Museum.
Will Adams Academy now stands on the site.
Among Louis Brennans inventions was the steerable torpedo of which their is still the remains of a launching pad at Cliffe Fort.


Over to you MartinR.....

[KeithG]

This will give the name of the Road...


The site is now occupied by a newer building in which there is a school named after another famous man born in Gillingham and he spent twelve years learning shipbuilding, astronomy, and navigation before entering the Royal Navy where he served under Sir Francis Drake?

[KeithG]

You will only find Gillingham, i think, so i will give a bit longer.


So where in Gillingham?


It was a museum after he moved out or died but it then closed and was demolished all the artefacts were spread around other museums.

[MartinR]

Gillingham, but I'm not sure where therein.  As for Google, avoid them like the plague - they just suck up personal data.

Sorry,  my previous guess was unordered due to my computer not updating.

[KeithG]

I can see my clues work?...made them easier as the building is no longer there.


Yes it was Brennan but where is it?




Have you had trouble with Google as ALL my Bookmarks are gone!....trying to get them back as lost without them all on my mobile.


Just tried again and they are back......Google is a nightmare. I think they update and all the settings are altered.

[MartinR]

So much for the last half hour on GSV!  Was it Brennan by any chance?

[KeithG]

Not in Strood or an artist...


The owner was a very clever Irish man living here showing one of his great inventions.


The building closed in 1958 and is now demolished.

Base of an ice-house?

[Mike Gunnill]

Is it in Strood?

Is it the home of WW2 artist Evelyn Dunbar?

[Mike Gunnill]

Is it in Strood?

[KeithG]

Ok ...Thanks for that MartinR,


Lovely watercolour but where was this and whose home was it?

[MartinR]

You've got it Keith, over to you.  It's simply the view looking down from the entrance.
