Guess the Place

[johnfilmer]

Martin, old OS maps only start to show a lake of that sort of footprint in the late 1960s, so as JW says, it looks as though it has been engineered to give a better fishing experience. Personally only went fishing once, never been so bored...
Meanwhile, back at the Quiz - where is this converted chapel? It is beside what is now an A road.

Thanks John for that one.  The camera must have been at about:

• WGS84:     51°14'29"N, 000°58'27" or 51.2414,0.9743
• Post code: CT4 8EF
• Nat'l grid:   TR 07703 53338

From the official listing, https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1234921?section=official-list-entry, I see that "The interior of the mill is remarkably complete with paddle wheel,stones, grain bins and hoppers."  do you know if the mill is open to visitors?  The official website only seems to be interested in fishing.  Also, there is an odd, almost heart-shaped ring of water just over half a mile away ENE at TR 08831 54049, just N of Pickelden Lane.  Do you know anything about this?  It's not a lake, so I assume it's not part of Stour Valley Fishing Complex nor yet Chilham Mill Fishery.  Just curious!

I don't think the mill is open to visitors - certainly not seen anything about it.   The ring of water is part of the private fishing and I understand the water is still, to give a feel of canal fishing.  I believe a lot of the area is under the control of South East Water and the Chilham Water Treatment Works is along that road.  Everywhere in that area appears to be private.  Annual membership for Chilham Mill Angling Syndicate is £1,400 !!!!

You mentioned Julliberrie's Grave.  There is an article in Wikipedia about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julliberrie's_Grave and the official scheduling record is available online: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1013000?section=official-list-entry

I think that is Chilham Mill behind the camera position.

Well done John Filmer - spot on.  Quite a nice spot.  A footpath continues past the front of the cottage (Mill Cottage) and heads up onto the downs and Juliberries Grave.
Julliberrie's Grave, also known as The Giant's Grave or The Grave, is an unchambered long barrow located near to the village of Chilham in the south-eastern English county of Kent. Probably constructed in the fourth millennium BCE, during Britain's Early Neolithic period, today it survives only in a state of ruin.


I haven't found out who is actually buried in this barrow.

And a mill.

[John Walker]

Station quite close and a busy 'A' Road.

[John Walker]

Lots of private fishing in this area.


Railway line close

Looks like a Constable painting!  I half expect to see a farm cart in the stream - or is it a canal?

I agree MartinR. It does look rather pastoral. It's actually a screen dump from GSV.
Not a canal.

Thanks Grandarog.   It was good to have something a bit different.  There's no way I would have guessed that one without the various clues that came up.


Next one...


Where is this?


First Clue - Not one of my usual haunts ...

Certainly was .First day of the injections.The queues stretched right round the library Car Park and nearly down to the High Street.
Your Turn John Walker.
I feel guilty and wont do this multiple type question  again as this is Guess The Place ,not the activity.

I ended up at a dead end. Started with Swallows next door to the Phoenix, and went into a ever increasing circle trying to track down a covid centre. Thought I had it for a while as there was a covid bus in the Swallows car park, but that didn't appear til the end of the vaccine cycle. So hardly a first.
Really enjoyed this one.

Right, here goes.  First batch of Covid Vaccinations in Central Avenue, Sittingbourne ?  Possibly January 2021?

[John Walker]

There are certainly enough clues to give someone a chance to guess the correct answer to what was occurring at the end of the Queue.

If there are no takers by tomorrow, I'll put in my guess to keep things moving.
