Spot on JW 8) Please see attached image of the Location.

The mystery is that I have no idea who or what Yuma is, perhaps someone out there will?

Otherwise over to you JW

Is that the end of Ramsgate beach station where the turntable was?  Can't find any record of Yuma - was he a circus performer?

Thanks Lutonman.
Back in the days of local companies that you could deal with a person direct and not a call centre................



Okay, the next one has a clue within. So where and who?

Well actually in Whitstable Lutonman! Mrs Stewie and me had walked from Faversham railway station to Whitstable via the Saxon Shore Way and after a cop of tea in the castle gardens, was making our way to the station via a lovely footpath leading from 'Stream Walk'. The footpath is decorated along its length by artistic murals of which the picture on the bridge forms part.
The bridge itself is (just) visible on GSV (see attached), and was also featured in an article in Kent Online, concerning Network Rail cleaning their structures of graffiti (see attached), though I don't believe  that they meant this one. Back to you then Lutonman.

OK for another pointer, the picture on the bridge gives a clue to the town its in. The bridge recently featured in a local internet article concerning the removal of graffiti from Network Rail structures.

I'll still hold off for a while as I've done a few GTPs lately.  Stewie's next clues will hopefully lead one of you to the location.
