Guess the Place

[MartinR]

Yes Keith, it's Brookland.  Nice ring of 6 though it seems odd standing on the earth floor and having to step over beams.  There are two structures, a framework carrying the bells and the outside weatherproofing.  All in all a campanile worth visiting.  Details of the bells are here: http://kent.lovesguide.com/tower.php?id=3

I have seen something similar like that on Romney March.

Isn't that the Church of St Augustin Brookland?

[MartinR]

This really is an easy one.

Sorry Pete but MartinR has it as the cottage that is on the Cooling Road / Main Road junction is actually the pictured cottage.
The one further down use to be identical .....they are not part of the Castle or even as "Estate cottages" where workers lived. But one of the workers for the Castle used to live in one of the cottages.
The "near water" was the moat of the castle.The Church is St James where "Pip`s brothers" lozenge tombs are supposeldy in the church yard.
The cottages were built equidistant either side of the Castle Gate House preventing the view from the South being impeded?
B&W picture cottages during the 1953 floods
Over to you MartinR

Ah, couldn't see the water on google earth, so dismissed it. But see it on google maps lol.

At the junction of Cooling Road and MAin Road.  Hard by Cooling Castle Barn.

C14 building Cooling Castle?

[KeithG]

Sorry John you have gone South and not East from West Street.
The answer is approx 2mls East from Cliffe... Google Earth is best and two cottages stick out quite clearly 150yds apart near an important structure that was in the 14th century on the South Bank of the River Thames but is now over 2 miles inland! The water it is near is not properly visible but only on Google Maps as blue strips.

Along Gore Green Road, Ckiffe Woods -  near the small lake ?

[KeithG]

Yes...
Read CAT 's post and then use it in the MartinR area and what do you find?


According to old rules i can only give one picture!

[shoot999]

Cooling/High Halstow area?

[KeithG]

Sorry Mike you have gone too far the opposite way...

[Mike Gunnill]

MartinR....Swigshole is too far East

There is a church nearby made famous by Charles Dickens?
The pair of similar cottages are on Google Earth and GSV...also on 1888-1913 maps

Chalk, where he spent his honeymoon?
