[KeithG]

Ok, shoot999 i will carry on the fun for now.

I'm getting this upload error on every page. Anyone else want/can post pics. Please do so.

I did Walter Burke's grave in Wouldham Churchyard as a "Guess The Place" on the old forum.

Same issue here.  See below and on the Chatham Intra Synagogue thread.  Tried later with the smaller picture and it failed again.
@KeithG - sorry, I was just looking at "new bridge", "naval" and "owner did something", missed the motorways.  I know well where the M2 ends: I've spent many an hour there looking at the other vehicles in the jam!

I had the same problem last night trying to make a post with an attachment. Ended up using a link to an external image site.

Not letting me put a pic up. Saying upload folder is full.  Tried a number of pics, small in size.

Sorry Martin R.....Sheppey and Sheerness is North of the M2 where the M2 goes North to the West of it is the Medway Valley.


Yes, shoot999 you have it .....nice bit of searching


The house in the 1930`s seems to be the only picture around, same man same dog it is everywhere concerned with this piece of history.
Walter Burke, as you say, was a purser on HMS Victory who caught Nelson as he fell wounded at the Battle Of Trafalgar. Nelson died in his arms.


Over to you.......

[shoot999]

So to add to my last. Walter Burke, Location of property Wouldham High Street. He was in the cockpit with Nelson when he died. Purser.  Burke had two properties in Wouldham,  'Burkes House' and 'Pursers Palace'.

[shoot999]

I'm guessing its in the vicinity of Peter's Bridge and the owner of the property was the first to do something. Hence why no one else can? Unless we are talking Walter Burke?

[MartinR]

Well with those clues we would seem to be looking at the Sheppey Crossing.  A naval connection seems to imply Sheerness, but of course could be the birth of British flying at either Shellbeach or Eastchurch.

[KeithG]

There is a new bridge joining one side of the water to the other...

[KeithG]

Has a Naval connection...

[KeithG]

The owner did something no-one else has done... and cannot do?
