Not Sheppey MartinR.  I can see your thinking though.  The blue corner clue is more to do with a notable resident.

Not sure if this does class as a village or even a hamlet but it does have a name.  A spattering of mixed houses, a closed post office, a manor, a scrap yard and the GTP Pub.  A newly formed woodland is close by as is a busy 'A' Road which heads for the coast.  A well-established very large woodland is also close by.

I have rechecked the Google scan and it is from April 2019. At that time I believe the Cannon was sited at the Imperial Hotel Hythe.
Apologies for any problems...............

That was a toughie Beachbum!  I'd been up and down that stretch in GSV several times, but Google doesn't label the memorial, and as John says, the cannon has gone.  Anyhow, eventually I found it thanks to you and John, so the location is:
  • Nat'l Grid:                  TR 20050 35068
  • Nearest Post Code:   CT20 3DA
  • Coords (WGS84):      51°04'22"N, 001°08'23"E or 51.072733,1.139740

Thanks Beachbum.   The cannon doesn't appear in the latest GSV so I guess it was moved after the camera unit passed through.


Next one ...
