Guess the Place

[Beachbum]

Your correct so far MartinR, but the wrong Coast

[MartinR]

That looks maritime.  I suspect that we are looking at a place where the phone lines cross navigable water.  As a first guess are we adjacent to the Medway or the Swale?

Well with a bit of digging around in the 25" OS map of 1892-1914 I think that the circular brick structure nearest the camera was at:

• Nat'l grid: TR 35485 71132
• Coords:   51°23'26"N, 001°23'01"E or 51.39034,1.38336

If I'm not mistaken the roadway leading from the camera to the circular structure is today represented by Cobbs Court.

Cheers John Walker. I searched so many old Breweries then remembered the Lion Cages of Dreamland..



This one has great Links from 1914 and renewed since..............

Spot on BeachBum.  It is indeed Cobbs Brewery.  This view would have been from King Street next to the owner's house which was one of my earlier GTPs.


The yellow line shows the area of Cobbs Brewery and the arrow points to the subject of this GTP.


Over to you ...

Cobbs Brewery Margate, being near to the former Dreamland Menagerie.

Cobtree/Aylesford area?  Not really eastern half, but it did have a zoo and is to the east of the Mudway.

Move a long way east Martin.  Probably nearer to being a menagerie rather than a full-blown zoo now I think of it.

A zoo was close by many years ago.

This brewery no longer exists and this view is not on GSV.  Now mainly residential.

Water not far away
