Guess the Place

[Beachbum]

Would this be Bridge? Going over the Nail Bourne perhaps........

[MartinR]

Well the only cities in Kent are Rochester (well, was thanks to Gillingham) and Canterbury.  Rochester was its own port, so I assume the city must be Canterbury.

A quick clue to keep things moving?


This village, being once on a main thoroughfare between a port and a city, was exceptionally busy until the building of a bypass. The significance of the village's name can be seen in the pic.

I found the same photo, dated 1903, but without the car. Not sure if the shadows under the car look right in the context of the shadows cast by the buildings.


As I said before, I don’t want this to become the Two Johnnies show, so as I know the place I’ll pass for now.

I'll hold back on this one for now as I worked close to that location for many years.  Wouldn't really be classed as a guess 


It's a great photo btw.

Many thanks John Walker. I remember going there many, many years ago, but recently had passed by visiting a friend in the nearby village. I wonder if the 'Bouncing-bomb' is a new addition as I don't remember it being there when I visited.


My next is clearly a street view from the early twentieth century, one that many people would have travelled along, which might not be to difficult.

Like Grandarog, I'd never heard of the place (both Museum and Village), but recognised the bouncing bomb at once.  Anyhow, for anyone looking for it the location of the camera (GSV) is:

• Nat Grid:    TR 00936 277196
• Post Code: TN29 0EE
• WGS 84:     51°00'33"N, 000°51'47"E or 51.00904, 0.86292

I recognised the Barnes Wallace Bomb straight away but hadn't a clue where it was. Brenzett is probably the only Aeronautical Museum in Kent I haven't visited at some time.

Looks awfully like the Brenzett Aeronautical Museum on Ivychurch Road?

Over to you CAT.   Bouncing bomb on display in the photo.  The Land Army Museum was also there but not sure if it still is.


Wartime Weekend in June - see poster below.

For me no ideas yet, is it some kind of museum, I'm looking at the plaque in front of the barrel.

Yes - it is a museum.  It's not a barrel

Thanks Lutonman,  As I said, your final clue about deer put me in the right area.  Knole Park and it's famous herd of deer.  Without that clue, I was struggling.


Next one - shouldn't be too difficult.

[Lutonman]

Well Done John Walker indeed it was a clue, Martin R yes to point to Knowle Park and to identify the main road as the A21 and the main town as Sevenoaks and hopefully focus in the Right area.


Over to you John Walker

Good grief, John knows the position to the nearest nano-metre!
In other formats:

What's the "deer" connection?  I've been searching Knole Park to no avail, is it just the proximity?
