Guess the Place

[johnfilmer]

Margate? If so maybe Turner?

[John Walker]

Is it somewhere in Herne Bay??

Head further east Grandarog.

Coastal?

This town has a station and a clock tower. We've been here before.

More clues to follow.

[John Walker]

Thanks JohFilmer.  It was the only line I could think of that matched.  It was then just a matter of searching for the correct bridge.  The pylons etc helped.


Next one ...


Where is this, and who lived here?

[MartinR]

Please be generous and blame the heat.  You are of course absolutely correct, I can only think I looked at the road.  This captain will pick up his scrubbing brush and head "afore the mast for a while".

[johnfilmer]

MartinR, looking down on the bridge, the line that we are looking along runs up a bit, and left a bit in navy lark speak.


Surely north west Captain.

[MartinR]

Well done indeed.  I hadn't a clue where I'd find a single track diesel operated network line in Kent.  Anyhow, the view was looking north-east north-west from:

• Nat'l Grid: TQ 77864 74848
• Post Code: ME3 8QH
• WGS 84:  51°26'41"N, 000°33'29"E or 51.44469,0.55804

Bit of nosing around: it's the line from Thamesport to Hoo Junction.  It seems to be single line throughout, with no passing loops.  Interesting level crossing at the A228/B2001 Grain Rd.  Full gates, cabin and semaphore home signal.  It's like something out of "Heartbeat".

Well done JW, and I was saving the odd name for a clue 

[John Walker]

Dux Court Bridge ?

[MartinR]

Interesting.  No electrification, so therefore worked by diesels.

[johnfilmer]

No MartinR, part of the network.

Heritage line?
