Thanks MartinR...... I do know what you say.  I worked at Trinity Trading Estate in 1972 for around 10/12 yrs so do know about the Creek and what the locals say. I especially remember the smell and thousands of midges in the Summer?
I was merely writing down what the Art UK website for Swale Borough Council says the painting is called so it must be the correct answer ;D
I'll be back......

Well Keith, I now have a problem.  It is indeed the head of Milton Creek in 1866, but Milton Creek was never in Sittingbourne.  As an ex-resident of Milton Regis I can assure you it was OUR creek, not that jumped up johnny-come-lately place up the road! >:(
Over to you ...

This almost looks Dutch, but is really in Kent.

You have it MartinR  It is indeed Trinity Church.


I was expecting more questions before it was guessed.  Also had plenty more clues on standby.   I like to give it a day before giving too much away in case someone guesses it without clues etc.


So ...  Over to you

Thanks KeithG


That one was more luck than anything - I happened to be lucky with my first search area for a change.


Next one - another church.  Not well hidden.

That one is well hidden.  I could just make out the shadow of the spire on Google Earth.


St, Margarets Church, Wychling ?

Apologies Keith.  I just saw the "Elmley Island / Marshes" line in the RSS preview, "The Lillies" was off the bottom of the screen.  Well done, you are correct, over to you.
