Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Are they back home now?

Thanks Stewie.
                          Staying with the Lion theme where will you find this one.

[Stewie]

yes it is grandarog, we visited here on a KHF outing around Brompton which is where I took the picture.

[Stewie]

yes it is grandarog, Chatham Naval war memorial There is a connection to the KHF because I took the picture during a walking tour of Brompton and we ended up here, (see attached picture, not mine though).

Looks like one of the 4 Stylised Lions to be found at the base of all the Royal Navy War Memorials so presumably on the great lines Chatham.

Aha! I thought, easy that one.  Rochester Bridge, but the lions there are in bronze and more finely detailed.  So, to start fishing: East or West Kent?

[Stewie]

Thank you MartinR. Again I have not got much to entertain you all with but having a 'dig' around, I did find this image taken some time ago as the date shows. So where was I when I took this photograph?

[Stewie]

Similar to johnfilmer I remember seeing it from the Bus as we passed. I was fascinated by the huge sandstone coloured plaques on the fromt walls .One was large Trumpet and i think the other one was Swords. There was a smaller one between them ,I cant remeber what was on that one.

I believe that it also had a giant lift in it so that the faithful could ascend to heaven.

Gave this one a bye as I could see it in the 50s from my nans house. Had an air of doom about the place which it history seems to confirm. More of a cult than a religion. Somewhat please to discover its last use was as a refuge for suffragettes escaping the census in 1911.

[/size]By the looks of this interior view the seating was not installed, but instead only the ironwork for its support and structural members above?[/color]

[MartinR]

I assume the circles are seating, possibly stepped.  See https://www.facebook.com/j1o9n44/photos/1130429567028544 for an example of a stepped gallery, this time in a redundant Methodist Church.

The tower looks fascinating.  What are all the circles on the plan?

[MartinR]

Yes, I hoped that the ground plan would be more confusing and keep people off the scent for a while.  Ah well, over to you Stewie.

is it the Jezreel tower? In Watling Street Gillingham near where the Jubilee clip factory was? If so it was supposed to be a tower up to heaven for the Jezrelite movement.
