Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Would that be the posh place now called 'Reads' beside the A2 at Faversham.  Macknade Manor ?  The entrance made me think of it, not that I could afford to eat there

[DaveTheTrain]

Ha ha, thanks Rog.  You may be right.


Now, where did I go on some Saturday night in the 1970s to sit in a car and eat Smiths Crisps (with blue salt bag) and drink coke.

I think you are meaning the big one by the VOR array that can be seen from the road.
This one is on the airfield, in the woods over the back near the old control bunker.
You have it as you are probably the only pillbox spotter on here.
Over to you for the next Poser.

[DaveTheTrain]

Detling Hill I think, near the VOR antenna.

Thanks Cat. I don't know how many of the Military buffs have come over from the old Forum .This wouldn't last long back then.
Rough position will do .

However, grandarog, it is Ightham Mote. This is the chimney suite on the southeast corner of the house most of which furnished the former kitchen range.


Over to you grandarog

[CAT]

Sadly Invicta Alec it's not Knole House, but your heading in the right direction

[Invicta Alec]

Knole House Sevenoaks methinks.


Alec.

[grandarog]

Looks like Ightham Mote House to me.

[CAT]

Not Rochester KeithG. Southwest and rural.

[KeithG]

Restoration House Rochester?

[CAT]

Sorry to all for the delay. Work life very busy.


I agree with all that a factory can be made to look interesting, this being one of the best looking traditional ones I know. However, the building in the process of being built next door is not so good, though it is only half constructed. Lets hope it follows suit and made to blend, or at least not be a metal clad box.


Regardless, where is this fine suite of chimneys?

[Smiffy]

It's nice to know that with a little effort this sort of thing can still be done, and that modern buildings - even industrial ones - don't have to be an assault on the eyeballs.

[John Walker]

Just as an aside John - are you saying that this is a fairly modern building?

Yes.  It has a retro outer shell but inside it's a ultra modern factory.  It looks quite impressive as you drive past.
