I've been up and down Manor Way virtually and can't get the same shot, so I'm afraid I've got to agree with John, I can't find the view on GSV.
Oh, and first Stuart, then John identified the place before I posted any co-ordinates, it was only then that I managed to find it, so I think the honours goes to Stuart.

Brittania Refined Metals .Northfleet. It is on street view quite clear from Manor Way.


Your turn MartinR :)


I've tried numerous GSV and Google Earth  views from different years and I cannot get the view that you show Grandarog.  Now I'm curious.  :D

Factory location:
  • Grid:          TQ 61351 75286

  • WGS84:     51°27'13"N, 000°19'15"E or 51.45347,0.32084
I can't give a camera location because that particular view is not on GSV.

I noticed that their jetty still has rail tracks and a mini-turntable.

I think it had its own jetty in use at one time.

How near is "very near"?  Are we talking waterside, or a few streets inland?

Gone very Quiet,
Another Clue .
Very near the Thames.
West of Gravesend but not as far as Ebbsfleet.
 Keep looking :) :)


If nobody else gets it soon, I'll go for it to keep things moving  :)
