Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Well done Grandarog.  It is indeed Waltham Court.  I attended a wedding there many years ago.  It seemed to be a bit run down as I recall.


Over to you ...

MartinR.  I also spent a bit of time looking at maps looking for the pottery but couldn't find anything resembling a line of kilns.  I'm sure someone on here will know.

BTW, does anyone know exactly where the Queenborough pottery was?  I've spent an hour or two with old maps (https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15.4&lat=51.41717&lon=0.74767&layers=168&b=1) trying to identify it.

Has had various uses over the years.  A restaurant at one time.  Is named after the Village that it's near.

East Kent. Can be seen on GSV

Are those flying buttresses to the left of the steps?  Most odd.

Looks like they are Martin.  There are also two wall ties so it looks like a problem with the brickwork.

Name and where?  Rural

The view won't be on GSV, I was killing time in Hoo and the light was fantastic.  The stonework was glowing brightly in the setting sun.  I've not photoshopped that image in any way (it's just the .jpg, not even the raw) other than to reduce the definition so as to allow it to be posted.

I agree Martin, it's a great image and the light is amazing.

To be honest Martin, I wasn't expecting that.  I couldn't find the view that you had so I wasn't 100% certain.  The castellations looked wrong but I can now see that it's only the side with the stairway tower that only has one cut-out (not sure of the correct term) the other sides have two.
I'd better scrabble about and find another GTP a bit quick.

Yes John, I knew it was too easy.  Here's another view taken a few moments later.
