Invicta Alex has it.   It's an art installation with an historical slant.   Over to you IA

Is it one of the posts used for the Anglo-French survey of 1784-1790?

The Google Street View which is from a similar angle to my photo is not on a main road.

Not Samphire Hoe KeithG but the right general area of the county.

MartinR's info on the church raises a point that I have wondered about before. The very nature of Guess the Place often means that we learn more about our chosen targets. At what point should we then take this info and start a thread in the appropriate part of the forum?
I will post about the Herne Bay home when I can resolve a couple of points with my siblings, and better gauge the date. The strange Memorial Hall on Benenden Green is another possible subject
Views/comments?


A good idea JohnFilmer.  I have learned a lot from the GTP entries over the years.  Perhaps, if either the person putting the GTP up or one of the Guessers, knows further points of interest then a new thread could be started as you have already done with the church GTP.

Thanks DTT


Best photo I've seen of that area.



Nearly 60 years ago I would have been riding my Royal Enfield down that road ready to start my shift on Number One Machine at Chartham Paper Mill.

As you say, the view has changed very little.


Next one up later ...

Well done JW, it is Chartham.   And importantly it does not look very different today,


Over to you..
