I know where this is, but haven't got a pic ready to upload in it's place. The 1669 structure to which you refer was one of a pair of such buildings, but the other one was totally different in appearance and has long since been demolished. It was demolished in spectacular fashion.
Same here; no pics. Need to find something online as I ran out of personal pics a while ago.

It is indeed on the north bank of the Medway  :)


And... why build something in 1669 substantial enough to still have present day ruins?

No idea really but as Sittingbourne  had so many brickworks & bricks in their millions were transported by barge to London- Grandarog must know?

I'm surprised it hasn't been guessed yet.  As JohnFilmer stated - plenty of clues that helped me find it quite quickly.   


I'll still hold back for now as I've put quite a few up recently.

Very slow, all still recovering?


Clue. Just out of view is a ruin originally built in 1669.

Lutonman - all that did was generate a menu, nothing to do with screenshots at all. Most strange if that works for you.


It gives you the option to select part of the screen to save, using your cursor. I'll do some screen shots on another topic page

As a saddle sore JW recovers from his chase up and down Cycle Route 1, the rest of you may fancy a clue or two...


Obviously on the northern bank of a tidal water. The brickfields are long gone, but the area and it’s link to the water continues.

Just a word of caution when telling people how to do things on the computer.  Whilst I accept that most people are helping keep poor Bill Gates from penuary, some of us don't use Windows at all unless we can help it!  Some people prefer to assist Jobs and Wozniak.  Personally (as a self-confessed Yorkshireman) prefer to keep my money where it belongs, in my pocket. :P   More seriously, I far prefer Linux to Windows and macOS.  Anyhow, this is getting well off GTP so I'll just sign off with best wishes to you all for the New Year.

JohnFilmer - I enjoy your map GTP's.  I've found this one in record time (for me).
I'll hold fire to give someone else a chance.   :)
