Guess the Place

[DaveTheTrain]

It looks like the firework sheds at Astra Fireworks, Richborough.


post update: I have looked on google earth and the place has changed out of all recognition, with the fireworks factory long gone.

Something to do with the g1916 gunpowder explosion in Faversham?

[John Walker]

About 1km from a creek.  (along a track/lane)

[John Walker]

It's isolation is key to the fame that followed.

[John Walker]

A bit out of the way but on GSV.

Thank you Stewie,  I've only been to the town end of Moat Park.  I would guess those apartments are well outside my league too.


Next one ...


Has a bit of  70s history to it.

Well done John Walker it is indeed Mote House, we passed it on a circular walk around the extensive park here one Sunday morning in July.  It is now an 'upmarket' retirement home together with its associated outbuildings including a good example of an old stable block. The prices for accommodation here are slightly out of my league though!

[John Walker]

Yes - there is a photo of this building in a write up on mansions in Gunnersbury Park London. I presume it's what you found as well Grandarog.- someone's cocked up. 


Anyway - after a long search I've found it.  In Moat Park, Maidstone.  Audley Mote House.  It looks like it's a rather upmarket retirement home now?

[Stewie]

OK, this rather grand looking house was built in the 18th century, replacing an earlier one on the same site.

[Stewie]

Sorry granderog, I know Geography was not my strong suit but is is definitely in Kent!

[grandarog]

Is it one of the Mansions in Gunnersbury Park?  If it is I thought that was  London.

[Stewie]

You do surprise me John Walker, the wily old hunter of GTP!    OK to start the chase, its in west Kent.

Once a railway station - I have no doubt
Here there maybe it`s somewhere about
That`s my lot - I realy havent got a clue
So I will leave it my friends to you & you !

[John Walker]

I haven't a clue where this one is but it looks quite splendid.  I look forward to the answer.

[Stewie]

Thanks Shoot999, we seemed to overlap a bit there! I an afraid that I don't have much to test your skills so here is a picture taken on another of our walks in the country.
