Guess the Place

[Beachbum]

I have rechecked the Google scan and it is from April 2019. At that time I believe the Cannon was sited at the Imperial Hotel Hythe.
Apologies for any problems...............

Cannon Location : I took these photos on 14th October 2022.

Town or village?

Nice little pub

That was a toughie Beachbum!  I'd been up and down that stretch in GSV several times, but Google doesn't label the memorial, and as John says, the cannon has gone.  Anyhow, eventually I found it thanks to you and John, so the location is:

• Nat'l Grid:                  TR 20050 35068
• Nearest Post Code:   CT20 3DA
• Coords (WGS84):      51°04'22"N, 001°08'23"E or 51.072733,1.139740

Thanks Beachbum.   The cannon doesn't appear in the latest GSV so I guess it was moved after the camera unit passed through.


Next one ...

Spot on John Walker. The clue was in the second sentence
This is the Imperial Cannon in front of the John Moore Memorial on Sandgate Esplanade. Originally sited at the Imperial Hotel.

Sandgate - behind the memorial?

[Beachbum]

Proceed in the Folkestone direction MartinR.
The Cannon is on standby for migrant duties.......

[MartinR]

Eh?  South from Dover would put you in Le Tréport at the mouth of the Somme!
Assuming a somewhat flexible "south", are we headed to Folkstone?

[Beachbum]

Not Upnor Castle, go South John Walker

[grandarog]

Upnor Castle???

[John Walker]

Quick guess - Dover?

[Beachbum]

Thanks for the Dover Patrol information, such an impressive location for it's placement. There is a link to the Sandgatte Cliff Monument in France perhaps?
Bluebird Tea Room was such a wonderful Cafe on Cliff Walks, I cetainly miss it.

So next is a Cannon (circa 1790/1800). Where?

[MartinR]

Both are at the end of Granville Road.
