Guess the Place

I realised i was the wrong side of the A2 but couldn't post as busy
Well done DTT

Found it, the little bypassed lane off Mierscourt Road.  The tree is still there as is the woodwork.

This is proving to be more fiendish to track down than I anticipated! A big clue then - the road was once known as Chapel Lane.

[KeithG]

I think maybe further down Pump Lane near Lower Rainham Road... Pump Farm?

[Smiffy]

Not Platter's farm, but there is a Farm shop close by. Not far to the south are some motorway services.

[DaveTheTrain]

Can I adjust my answer, looking at old maps, there is a pumping station on tother side of the London Road, which on old maps is shown as Pump Lane, but is now Guardian Court.  Here lies the Rainham Mark WSW.   So I think it may have been Platters Farm.

[DaveTheTrain]

I am going to guess and say its Pump Lane, Rainham.  I would have to guess and say it is by the old Bus Garage.

[Smiffy]

Not Meresborough, but you're close. Go a little bit further west. CAT, you're pretty much there re use, as it's for raising water.

[KeithG]

Smiffy did you know the old Miersborough Lane is now Meresborough Lane?

[pete.mason]

water supply for steam engines / traction engines?

[CAT]

The post closest to the camera appear to be rounded and with a 'drum' on top. Is it a covered winding mechanism, possibly for raising water or even a sluice gate?

[KeithG]

Meresborough area?

[Smiffy]

Sorry John, nothing to do with blacksmiths.

Far eastern part of the Medway region.

[John Walker]

Blacksmiths/farriers and bellows ?
