Guess the Place

[Lutonman]

Is it coastal water?

[John Walker]

It could well be a boat but I think it's just parked there.  As far as I can find out the site was not involved with boats.

[MartinR]

I thought that looked like a boat bottom left of the big building.

[John Walker]

Near water?

Yes, MartinR - near water.

[MartinR]

Near water?

[John Walker]

I was lucky in my search - hit the right area quickly.  I got the match on the rivers from the old map and when I moved the slider to the left, Bewl Water magically appeared.

Next one.  Where and what?  Current view.

[MartinR]

Far too fast John, you must be bored!  Well done though, I had hoped it might last a day or two.  Over to you.

[John Walker]

That had me for a while    - I reckon it's Bewl Water today?

[MartinR]

OK, another map one.  This time I've not removed any detail.  Where is this today?

[MartinR]

I'll be honest, I just put "Grand Variety theatre Kent" into a search engine (DuckDuckGo) and out popped the Gillingham theatre/picture theatre.  The odd thing was that the site mentioned it closed in 1960, was demolished in 1965, then had a nice red box inviting me to click there to book tickets!  I think I'd need a famous blue police box to see anything there.

Next one up tomorrow.

Blimey, Martin.  You are quick today.  I was thinking of Luton Man when I put that one up, being Gillingham.  I tried to see if any buildings survive. I think the pub on the LHS may be the Prince Albert (possibly).

Martin, over to you.

That was lightning quick MartinR  .  It would have taken me quite a bit of searching to get that one.

Poor Lutonman - one on his patch at last and he didn't get a chance.

Looking to the junction of Skinner Street and Jeffery Street, Gillingham.

Thanks, here we go.

That is correct grangarog.

Due to its position on top of the West Cliff area of Ransgate, it's exposed position and salt air had taken its toll on not just the timberwork, but also the brickwork and masonry. Limited maintenance by previous owners saw the building deteriorate extensively until it was very much rescued by the Landmark Trust. Whilst it was controversial at the time to have a nationally important building in private hands and have to pay to stay in it, if the LT hadn't of restored it the building may not have been standing today.
