I used to drive past there to go to Stone Lodge Ranges which were just down and along a bit - all gone now. Always seemed an odd spot to find some full-sized railway stuff.
Another attempt at a screenshot - where is this? Clues - old pub, and near (fresh) water.

"................ I cant remember when I went but I think it was late 80's. I think the North Downs Railway had designs on opening the former Gravesend West branch but this came to nothing. I think in the end they moved to Tunbridge Wells to form the Spa Valley. Over to you."

How about Dartford, Stone Lodge, Cotton Lane?


You are right Johnfilmer, I cant remember when I went but I think it was late 80's. I think the North Downs Railway had designs on opening the former Gravesend West branch but this came to nothing. I think in the end they moved to Tunbridge Wells to form the Spa Valley. Over to you.

Thanks Grandarog, twas a bit of a speculative guess as I remembered that the railway had one! A very nice p[lace to visit with quite a bit to see if you like engineering.


I haven't really got much to test you all with so having completed my 'Lockdown' Project of digitising all of the family photos can anyone tell me where I was when I took this picture some time in the past?

JohnFilmer - I hope those two A2 signs don't suddenly disappear.  The route from Thanet A28 would join the A2 opposite those signs before pedestrianisation.


Grandarog - By the clock tower in Canterbury.  They have often had an organ playing to raise funds for charity.

Thanks John Filmer. Spent a lot of time visiting Canterbury 40-50 years ago when looking after Dad and an Aunt that lived at Hales Place ,St Stevens.
Lets try this one where did I listen to this a few years ago.

Absolutely correct grandarog. I had hoped to wrong foot JW by using something in his own back yard. Trouble is he knows his back yard too well. As apparently do you.
Over to you.

The Dover Castle, Teynham?


I`ll be very surprised if it is, but it seems the correct place for the two road signs.

Oh fiddle! (or something like that...) I thought I might fox you JW - too good for me :o
For the humans taking part, you may have just had a large clue, so a pretty exact location will be needed.
