Guess the Place

[DaveTheTrain]

That's it Beachbum.   Spot on.   The photo shows Tothill Street (as it is named now), Minster.  The cemetery is to the left and it is heading towards Manston.


Over to you.

That's the Thanet Workhouse (renamed to Hill House Hospital) at Minster. Photo taken early 1900's from the South.My Grandparents dreaded ever going into there as it was generally the last stop for people on low incomes, generally followed by a paupers funeral.

[DaveTheTrain]

No, Pete.  They are not.  But you are not that far from the sea.  In fact I used to walk (occasionally) from home, to here as a lad. And home was in a seaside town.  It was a four mile walk.

Are they Coastguard cottages next to it?

[DaveTheTrain]

It is a workhouse, Pete.  But not Blean.  You are getting closer (less than 20 miles).

Much further East chaps.

milton regis?

[DaveTheTrain]

No, way too far West.   Think other end of the county.

A shot in the dark, Swanscombe?

[DaveTheTrain]

Thank you, johnfilmer.  A road I have driven on so many times.  There are some really nice properties there, just the road problem makes living there noisy, I would guess.


Anyway, where was this?

[johnfilmer]

That’s the place DTT. I spotted it on my way to our appointment at Preston tip, sorry, recycling site. Such exciting lives we lead now


Over to you...

[DaveTheTrain]

You were in Ospringe, close to the junction with Maison Dieu.  A very busy road, most times of the day.

Spot on JW, somewhere along the A2. A nice short road...

[John Walker]

I'm working my way along the A2 - lots of similar properties.  Am I on the right A Road ?
