Guess the Place

[John Walker]

I assume that the building on the right with the three dormers is now the Longport Londis/St George's Post Office?

It does look like that but the frontage has changed so much that I'm not sure.  Certainly very close.  By co-incidence, I'm just about to head to that Post Office with a parcel. I live about 5 minutes walk away.

Longport, adjacent St Augustine Abbey, where two kings of Kent are buried?

[John Walker]

Not London Road or Northgate Beachbum.


The road is still wide as per the photo.  The trees along the left side have been felled and replaced but are not yet as big as the ones in the photo.  The remains of the very holy place behind the wall on the left are quite large.  Two kings are buried there.

The road continues past another holy place but that one is still intact.

Perhaps Northgate Street with St. Johns Hospital

London Road?

Clue:  To the left, there are the remains of a holy place.  There was also a hospital which then became a school - since demolished.

Are we back in Canterbury again?

Yes, MartinR.   Should be easy now...

Would the route take you to the North East corner of Kent?

More due east from this location.


Clue: Behind a high wall to the left is a very important historic site.

Would the route take you to the North East corner of Kent?

[John Walker]

Clue:  The trees on the far side have long gone but new trees have been planted on the nearside.  This used to be the main route to a coastal town until a narrow lane was widened and became the main route.

Sittingbourne area?

Further to the east of Kent MartinR

Looking down The Mall, Faversham I think.

Interesting history of Wakeley 's Oast House.  I'd never heard of it before.

Not the Mall, Faversham Grandarog, although I can see the similarity.

Clue: Don't use the buildings in the background as clues because I can't identify any of them.  I think some of them have been demolished.
