Guess the Place

Where did I spot this elaborate triptych.

Adisham area ?

John/Grandarog. Most interesting, there must be a bit of history attached to those almshouses for, as you say, they must be the biggest in the country and cost a lot of money to build. Was there a local benefactor or was Faversham quite rich in those days?

Thanks John Walker. That was good one. I knew it and had been holding back from day one but as it didn't seem to be going anywhere, I jumped in.

I reckon you have taken an obscure and unusual view of a wing of the Faversham Alms Houses. Probably from Tanner Street.

Well done Grandrog.  Yes, the photo was taken from Tanner Street.  It's got to be one of the largest alms-houses in the country?


The yellow/red circle is where the photo was taken from.

Getting closer Pete.  This property is around three times bigger than Preston Lea Hall.

Railway station within half a kilometre.  Small waterway fairly close.
It's very possible that many members have passed within 100 mtrs of this building.

I would guess this could be known as The West Wing of the building.  Certainly at the western end anyway.


Most of the front elevation can be seen on GSV - partly obscured by mature trees.

New build (within the last 20 years)?
