Guess the Place

[Diapason]

Yes, a fire station, but where?

[pete.mason]

Fort Bridgewoods?

[John Walker]

Fire station in a Medway town somewhere?

[johnfilmer]

Early Fire Station?

[Diapason]

Thanks, CAT!


Both villages having very high kerbs confused me.


Next offering  -  what is the building in the background which no longer exists.

[CAT]

Well done Diapason, you got there in the end. It is indeed Sutton Valance, the west end of Broad Street (looking east) to be exact.


I include a Google Streetview of the same view to compare.


Over to you

[Diapason]

Sutton Valence?


I couldn`t make up my mind between Sutton Valence or Leeds, not having been to either for some time.

[CAT]

Not Leeds Diapason, but getting closer.


The castle in this village is not as well known as Leeds, or in as good a condition.

[Diapason]

Leeds?

[CAT]

Though you are firmly in west Kent with Otford, you are too far west. Head southeast(ish).


With a castle in this village, there is also a large independent school nearby.

[pete.mason]

how about Otford?

[CAT]

Not Bidenden Pete, which I'm unsure about there being a castle near, but West Kent definitely John Walker.

[John Walker]

Many thanks John Walker.
Your father in law and myself must have just missed each other as I went and saw the crumpled remains of the spire a day or so after its collapse.

He lived directly opposite and heard the crash but didn't know what it was until the morning.

West Kent ?

[pete.mason]

Biddenden?
