Guess the Place

[MartinR]

That's got to be some sort of record Stewie.  Location data following below, but in the meantime over to you.

Is it Bloors Wharf just along from Gillingham Riverside Country park?

[MartinR]

I know that bridge so well from both the water and the road.  Memories of requesting a bridge lift at around 17:00 and seeing all the people who thought they could avoid queues at the roundabout stuck whilst we gently motored through. 
OK, here's one from last summer.  Where though?

Not wet feet.View taken from a train bus or car approaching the Island.
Well done MartinR, that was the next clue if needed .
Your turn.

[MartinR]

Unless I'm very much mistaken, you'd be getting your feet wet.  It's the old Kingsferry bridge over the Swale, the B2231 located at:

• Nat Grid:                   TQ 91433 69325
• Nearest Post Code:   ME9 8SS
• Co-ords (WGS84):     51°23'26"N,000°45'00"E or 51.390668,0.750076

BTW, it was on the telly last night in Silent Witness with the Isle of Sheppey doubling as "Southbay".

Here we go with the next one . Where would you come upon this sight.

[MartinR]

FYI: The floor is the invert, the same in this case but not always.  When you dig a tunnel the ground pushes up as well as down so you need to use a tube or else construct an inverted arch to pass the forces out to the walls.  For road or rail you then insert a floor or trackbed above the invert.  Obviously a storage tank (like a canal tunnel) doesn't need a floor per se.

I don't think that this GTP needs location information!

[grandarog]

Thanks Beachbum,It was the floor that gave it away.I remember a bit on TV when a reporter went inside a tank .I wasn't sure where it was.
Next GTP later this evening.

[Beachbum]

You have it grandarog.
Various Oil Tanks were installed inside the Cliffs in 1940 by the Eastern Docks. These were the largest (5) at 33ft wide and 35ft high.

Over to you..............

[grandarog]

Looks like an underground Fuel Tank .  Maybe   Dover .

[John Walker]

Is part of this now a visitor attraction?

[Beachbum]

Thanks for the Co-ordinates MartinR.

Not water related............

[MartinR]

@Beachbum, with an invert like that and no flat roadway/walking surface/trackbed that looks like a water tunnel.  I'd say canal, but the T&S has the railway in it, and there were no other major canals in Kent!   I'm thinking therefore flood relief or similar?

St. Michael and All Angels Church, Offham.

Location:

• Nat'l Grid:                  TQ 66023 58067

The church itself looks rather interesting.  A Saxon private chapel, rebuilt c. 1080 and hence missing from Domesday, but is mentioned in the Textus Roffensis.  Of the original Norman build, only the lower part of the tower is extant, but the 13thC work was interlaced with Norman work, and indeed scars can still be seen.  It's now on my list of places to visit!  Church website, with an excellent 3D tour: http://www.stmaryswestmalling.org.uk/?page_id=181

Thanks John Walker, that sounds like a sport worth watching. Perhaps they should bring it back with some Benny Hill Music playing?

Okay, the next one for you............
