Just a suggestion; if possible it would be lovely to see either a grid reference or a lat/log (eg from GPS) with the solution.  For Lutonman's last I think the camera must have been at 51.3740223,0.5442385 with Luton Millenium Green centered at 51.37019,0.53780  It's nice to be able to quickly find some of these locations and to consider going there when we are allowed to.  Please don't stress over this, it is merely a suggestion, not a request or a pestering.

Seasalter?


That's the place Lutonman.

Looks like the drainage control system for the Graveney Marshes.    Over to you ...

It's probably obvious but just in case - coastal.

That was unexpected.  Something made me think of Herne Bay Pier when I looked at it.  Great photo.
I did many childhood walks to the end of that pier and saw the paddle steamers docking there.  Probably the Medway Queen.
A real shame the pier couldn't be saved.


Next one ...


Where is this outlet?

Quick guess - Herne Bay pier ?


Spot on John. It is of my great uncle taken around  1920. Never quite sure of where it was until nearly a century later I came across some recent pics of the derelict pier on KHF.
Various urban explorer sites confirmed it.


Over to you.  :)

Yes, Closed about five years ago Pete.


I recognised the aspect from a post on the old KHF. Having found the pub I then realised that not only had I spent five years during the 60s riding past on my way to and fro Chatham Tech and the Luton Annexe, but I lived in Sydney Road for a few years and had a view down Otway Street!


With the old KHF in mind; and due to a shortage of pics, Ive decided to repeat some of my old pics from those days. So these may go relatively quickly.
