A Viking?

Folkestone?

Not Canterbury but it is in a town. The building is certainly not ruined.

[John Walker]

Is this in a ruined building?

[MartinR]

Quick guess: Canterbury Cathedral?

Thanks, Beachbum. That provoked a nice discussion.


Where would you see this fine chap looking down at you.

[Beachbum]

Apologies, I thought it was a complex containing the two structures.
Sir Moses was a fascinating person indeed

The mausoleum is not in the synagogue, Jews do not bury their dead inside synagogues.  The mausoleum is a separate structure alongside the synagogue, see https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3405054,1.4280615,49m/data=!3m1!1e3!5m1!1e1 where the domed building is the mausoleum and the larger building the synagogue.

and some more.............

Well done grandarog, spot on.
So this was the home of Sir Moses Montefiore, known as a Global campaigner for Jewish emancipation.The nearby Synagogue is still used and maintained, and contains the Mausoleum.
The main Tunnel was used by smugglers Horse and Carts, but was blown up and sealed.
The Caves where The Granville Caves. Nearby Wellington caves became HMS Fervent for WW2.
See attached photos from tthe 1935 Sales Brochure..............

I remember the foundations of Eastcliff House after demolition. I always imagined ladies in crinoline dresses walking up and down the stone steps that were still. I was young though and fanciful.


The beautiful greenhouse ( orangery ?) still there and now a cafe I believe. Haven't been back to Ramsgate for years now but lived there in the 50s.

I'm curious about the 'burial structure' mentioned by Beachbum.
