John Walker, I was 100% confident I was right
I was wrong!
I ate in Wildwood earlier this year. Maybe we should rename the quiz to "Spot the difference".

Any ideas why my photo is rotated 90deg? If I click on it then it displays correctly, and the source and attachment all look correct.
I have had this before, someone corrected it but did not explain how.

You have it johnfilmer  :)


The building suffered major blast damage in the blitz.   It later became Flishers Grocery Store.  On a Saturday, I would be taken into Canterbury to do our shopping.  We would then drop our grocery order book into Flishers and the groceries would be delivered early the following week by their van man.  He was a good looking man and I think Mum had a soft spot for him as there would always be a cuppa and long chat. 


Over to you johnfilmer ...

I think its the Pilgrims Hospice shop & a Student lettings agent on St Dunstans in Canterbury, just by the little roundabout at the junction with Station Road.
The swinging sign did make me think that it was a pub as well as Local Hiker.

We seem to be out of sync again as the one I put up hasn't been guessed yet. 



Although I am unable to `pinpoint` this building, I think it`s very likely to be Canterbury.

Apologies for `jumping the gun`, Local Hiker.


My memory failed me, as I am not a new boy and was a member of the `old` Forum from 2010 but using a new user name and avatar.

I have removed the offending post.

Diapason, it is nice to have new blood playing along. You have some nice pictures.
The game works by guessing the current image in play, then you post your own image only if you are first to guess the current image.
The current image in play is on Reply #43 by John Walker.

John Walker, I stand corrected, but there will be architect ghosts suing for plagiarism if my eatery and your charity shop are different places!

Anyway, I will answer your post (number 44) Local Hiker.  You might be thinking of the wrong place as it's not an eating establishment but a charity shop and an estate agents.

I have eaten there recently, but I won't call it because I have had more than my fair share of turns at this game since it started in the new forum.

Yes, the sculptures are scattered around the marshes to the south east of the cafe, all part of Barton Point Coastal park. The napolionic defensive canal starts here. The boating lake is dug off and connected to the canal. The statues are on a WW1 rifle range.
