Guess the Place

[Stewie]

Hi MartinR. 


Sounds like a good idea but I'm not sure where to get the grid references from.  Can you guide please.  I only use GSV.
Cheers
John



I believe that you can get them from Google Earth if you have it, (if not it is well worth getting for the 'historical imagery' facility).

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.

Well done Stewie, I took the picture from Beacon Road across the valley.


Over to you

Luton Millennium Gren in Chatham?

[Lutonman]

Thanks John Walker,


Now try this, where is this?

[John Walker]

Seasalter?

That's the place Lutonman.

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

Near to "The Street" at Whitstable?




Alec.

Right part of the coastline but not close to The Street Alec.

North Coast?

Yes - North Coast Shoot999

North Coast?

[John Walker]

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

[John Walker]

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.
