No Cold Blow Lane Stockbury/Detling, was part of the Ace High Troposheric Scatter radio and early warning systems. Operated by USAF with armed guards. Apparently MOD & USAF still use the mast in the photo, https://www.subbrit.org.uk/sites/coldblow-ace-high-relay-station/

Thanks, Pete.  I`m still a bit confused but assume it`s the Deal mast.


Next offering which should be easy for those with a good memory. I used it, I think, on the `old forum`.

My immediate reaction was Coldblow transmitter near DETLING?

It`s `donkeys years` since I was there, but it `stuck` in my failing memory.


Edit. - Just realised the significance of your clue, Pete!

Although it looks like Detling, I think that it may be near DEAL?

Now why are all those people
Looking up that church steeple
They could be out with camera
For `guess the place `drama.

Where are you, John?  Hope you are OK


I`m fairly certain that Pete has guessed correctly.

Not there Diapason.  Need to head more mid-Kent.  A large town is to the north.

Thank you Grandadrog


That was a difficult one  :) .   I couldn't find any images of it so I resorted to YouTube videos.  I finally found one by a family about 8 years ago.  The playground appeared in the background complete with the milk float.


Next one.  Shouldn't be too difficult.

Well Done .John Walker.
         It was indeed the Play area at Wingham Wildlife before the Elf and Saferty struck .
         There was an old milk float and a dinghy for the kids to play on and a giant fort type climbing frame .
