Thanks again CAT - seems like it's just a two player game at present  :) .  Perhaps this next one will bring others in.


Where is this?

You have it John Walker, it is what was left standing of St Augustine's Priory, Bilsington, now a smart wedding venue.

Over to you

My own previous comment made me think that perhaps I shouldn't be looking for a church.  A search under 'Priory' gave me the clue and I remembered years ago going to an event at Bilsington Priory near Ashford.   I found an image of it and I think it's the place?

Still searching - I've never seen a church (I presume it's a church) quite like this one before.  Is it near the Kent borders?

Close enough CAT.  They were sandblasting a barge on the slipway in preparation for a re-paint.  Over to you.



A working slipway constructed in 1838 to improve the repair capability of John Smeaton's 18th century harbour. The design follows Morton's patent.
The ramp is 40ft wide and measures 300ft above low water, sloping at 1:16. It is constructed from granite blocks and topped with three sets of double rails, 11ft apart. Along these runs a wheeled cradle which can bear weight of up to 500tons.
The cradle was originally worked by a manual capstan but this has been replaced with an electrically driven winch.

Are they cleaning/restoring one/both of the slipways at the eastern side of the harbour where the steam tug is located?
