Found it, but I'll hold back as well.  Might just get some new players if we give them chance.

Thank you CAT.
The Church opposite has an interesting Family History linked to the Castle.
So next up has changed its purpose in recent years?

Reply to grandarog - A few replies - quite a few replies - are in parts of unknown to others. I, myself - do not known enough about East Kent
to even hazard - a guess. But, have said that - i will from time to time - hazard a guess. I did get ONE right - many moons ago
One place I did had an interest in was - Cliffs-End-Hall - a mansion - near Ramsgate.

You certainly do have it grandarog and your pic illustrates it very nicely as it is at present (not that it has changed much since my pic of early twentieth century). I'm happy for any delay to encourage others, but I wonder if a few days is a bit too long to keep others waiting?

Hi Cat. I know where this is, but as the GTP is becoming a group of very few people guessing,I will put up the street view picture to see if any others can have a go at finding the place.
If no one gets it within a few days I will claim it.
