The leaning tower of ------------------ why would they need a water tower, on top of a hill ?


I spy a tower, filled with what
other than water, I think not
A wartime, from the first war
To secure airships ---- galore.

Yes it is the Strand miniature railway...... I used to run around it keeping up with the engine about 1955.


The name of the Miniature Railway Company was "Lilliputian"


Over to you castle261..... do your first picture edit?

Surely NOT the Strand in Gillingham ------------------------------------------- is it ?


There was a railway, many years ago
That`s where my mate & I used to go
Wednesday`s to meet -- a young girl
No no no, her name was not --- Pearl

It`s not the Maidstone Zoo or the Torry Hill railway so the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway is the only one that I can think of, although the houses in the background don`t seem to fit in with any of them - likewise the Hythe, Romney and Dymchurch line  -  so, S&K.L.R?

Right side of the county, but not right enough, JW!
