Guess the Place

[Lutonman]

Its will be down to Stuart, but I think he is away at the moment. Just have to bear with it. My antivirus keeps telling me it's a bad site but I just ignore the message.


back to the GTP, is it the Isle of Thanet that we are talking about

[John Walker]

It's gone very quiet on here.  Is everyone getting the same warning message?  Who sorts the certificate out?   

[MartinR]

Back to guessing, then it's either got to be the River Stour, or else the waterways associated with the Royal Military Canal (though I'd have to check the Kent border in the latter case).

Yes, the certificate expired last midnight.  Your browser is warning you that the connection is not secure and might not be trustworthy.  Just don't post your bank details or the combination to your safe.    Normal forum traffic is not security related, so the problem can safely be ignored (IMHO).

I received this while trying to log on


Suspicious Website - not up to date.

[John Walker]

I'm fairly certain I know this one but will hold back.     It's not really a guess in the spirit of GTP when you know a 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.
