Guess the Place

[John Walker]

The other place I can think of that looks like the one in your photo is Doddington Place ?

Not Tory Hill JW.


Photo taken through a gap in the hedge from a busy, unclassified road, not far from a church.

A bit different from the cleaning vessel - from my 1935 schooldays - Stuart - A man with a horse/cart
came up the hill - with his half tank - pulled by one horse - he got out the long scoops - to scoop out
the drain of muck - then he put pink powder down - over the drain - put scoops back on cart & away.

I'm thinking of Torry Hill.  Owned by the previous Governor of the Bank of England. The Leigh-Pemberton family?


Just one thing puts a doubt in my mind.  I don't think there are pylons that close to the house but the telephoto might be deceiving.

There or thereabouts JW

Is there a private narrow gauge railway nearby?

[johnfilmer]

Not there. North of M20.

Groombridge Place?

[johnfilmer]

I remember using that lane to turn round to go back to Sutton Valence - looking for a housename, usually took more than one pass - and I initially thought that I had gone around a big circle and was looking at the back of Sutton Valence church. Found a map and realised that there were two very close together. Very strange.
Next one - what is the grand(ish) building roughly in the centre of this vista.

That's the place JohnFilmer.  Seems strange to name it after Chart Sutton when as you say it's nearer to Sutton Valence.


Over to you ...

[johnfilmer]

Chart Sutton church, which is probably less than half a mile from Sutton Valence church at the top of the hill by the main road.

Perfect trajectory Shoot999 but too far.  Try again but only around 12km.

Would the town be Ashford?

Not Nettlestead Place Pete.  You need to head ESE ...

Stuart. Sorry I have no idea where but some truck- or truck and a half as we used to say! Hate to think how much a new windscreen would cost? I know it's off topic but I'm sure I'm not alone, there must be special places where your different " nasties" are deposited?
