Guess the Place

[John Walker]

My own previous comment made me think that perhaps I shouldn't be looking for a church.  A search under 'Priory' gave me the clue and I remembered years ago going to an event at Bilsington Priory near Ashford.   I found an image of it and I think it's the place?

[John Walker]

Still searching - I've never seen a church (I presume it's a church) quite like this one before.  Is it near the Kent borders?

Many thanks John Walker, that had me going around the houses, well, the coastline at least.

here is my next, but where is this Kentish religious establishment?

[John Walker]

Close enough CAT.  They were sandblasting a barge on the slipway in preparation for a re-paint.  Over to you.



A working slipway constructed in 1838 to improve the repair capability of John Smeaton's 18th century harbour. The design follows Morton's patent.
The ramp is 40ft wide and measures 300ft above low water, sloping at 1:16. It is constructed from granite blocks and topped with three sets of double rails, 11ft apart. Along these runs a wheeled cradle which can bear weight of up to 500tons.
The cradle was originally worked by a manual capstan but this has been replaced with an electrically driven winch.

Are they cleaning/restoring one/both of the slipways at the eastern side of the harbour where the steam tug is located?

[John Walker]

Ramsgate it is.  The men in the photo are sandblasting something ...

Ramsgate?

[John Walker]

It's a slippery slope ....

[John Walker]

Almost there - just a hop across the bay now.

[CAT]

Sandwich?

Go NNE for around 20k

[CAT]

Samphire Hoe(ish)?

[John Walker]

Sorry my direction wasn't very accurate.  Now actually checked on a map and it's more NNE    That should help narrow the location down...

[CAT]

As far east(ish) as Dover?
