Yes, that's the "end of some railways", now you need to find the connection.  Further clue at midday if no-one has got it by then.

No, and as a first clue that is end as in finish, not terminus.

If you go up this road you'll find a connection to Manhattan and the end of some railways.

Harrietsham Almshouses, but I've not yet found the "fishy" connection.
Edit:Got it!  "Mark Quested (d. 1642), Citizen and Fishmonger, bequeathed his estate to the Fishmongers' Company for various charitable uses, including the building of 12 almshouses."

Ha ha, that did make me chuckle. All sorted now, JW see my PM. I confirmed with a post in the Announcements bit. To save time, no, I don't mind people using GSV images as long as their size doesn't overwhelm the servers storage capacity.


Thank you Stuart.  that will make it so much easier to find images to enter.  I don't do a straight screen shot - these images are from GSV with a bit of help from a photo program.  they are also reduced to around 500 pixels on the long side to save server space.


Cheers
John

That's why I asked Stewie if we could use Google images like we did on the old site.  I can't get about like I used to as I no longer run a car.




Hi John Walker, apologies if you were waiting for a reply from me. I don't really have any objection to people using Google (or any other relevant), images for this thread, but I am merely a member amongst others and have no administration rights on this site. :-)


Try not to laugh Stewie.  For some reason I thought you were Stuart Waters (admin) with a pseudonym of Stewie.  So, it's me who should be apologising :D  -  I'll message the real Stuart Waters about using GSV images.
