Not the A20 but this A road does meet up with the A20 on its way to the coast.

Can be seen in the middle distance on GSV along a fairly busy 'A'road that heads to the coast.

Interesting info about the Waterloo Tower.  I've been to Quex and the amazing museum but have never seen the tower.  The sound of the bells must be incredible.

Here's the next one.  East half of the county.

When a bell makes a sound it "speaks".  I wasn't going to lay claim to it since bells are part of my life so left it cryptically as a "dozen speakers" for the 12-bell ring.

You are all correct, so I am not sure who takes the the Prize? Between you we have an interesting history of the Waterloo Tower.

I think that goes to grandarog for the exact description.
(I was confused by the dozen speakers)
