Guess the Place

[MartinR]

Well done Castle261, it is indeed the Court Hall, Milton Regis.  The original was taken in 1956.
On behalf of Castle261, then here is the next starter.

The Old Court House in Milton, Sittingbourne.


I drew it in 1989, while waiting for the train home, after seeing my brother in a Milton hospital.


I cant do photo`s, so if I am right, I will let someone else, put up the next one.

[John Walker]

East Kent ?

[MartinR]

Not Faversham

[KeithG]

Faversham?

[MartinR]

Sorry, "Dad's Taxi Service" duty this morning.  Here's one for you, I'm interested in the middle building, which is still standing.

[MartinR]

The map pointer put it between James St and Clover St but yes, Rhode St makes sense.  Bed time now, next picture will appear in the morning.

[KeithG]

I will have to give it to you but you have the ends mixed up?


Although not a school it was a department of the same school run by William Giles and it was on the corner of Best Street and Rhode Street
and as you say the famous person was Charles Dickens.


It is now the large car park behind the High Street.


Over to you.......

[MartinR]

Would it be the William Giles School at the corner of Clover Street and Best Street, Chatham?  The famous persons would then be Charles Dickens.

[KeithG]

Not Rochester John

[John Walker]

Sir Joseph Williamson's Mathematical School, Rochester High Street?

[KeithG]

Yes shoot999


Now a car park


Never used The Tideway much when i had a motor but when 12 yrs my Stepmother lived in Arethusa Road before she married my Dad
Used Comet though just up the road from the junction

[shoot999]

I'll ask my usual question. Medway Towns? 


And no, Dad drove the car home. We lived where the Tideway meets the Rochester Maidstone Road so had a lot of ground with a drive, double length garage and large garden. Plenty of room to practice! As you may recall there was some waste ground on that corner of the airport where all the off-roaders on their bike, scooters and cars used to congregate. So that was a handy place to go when Dad wasn't around to stop me. No hassle from the police in those days unless you were being stupid.

[KeithG]

Thank you for that grandarog......


shoot999...yes it was as you say there were only a couple of pumps as i remember.
I have used all the petrol stations between Frindsbury and Sittingbourne 1970`s as i worked there for about 12yrs and hated coming and going the same way.
Did you drive your first car home at 15yrs??


Next one is a postcard of a now demolished area and the picture is of not a school but a department of a school on a junction of two roads.
A very famous person went there for education so where and who?
