[grandarog]

Good "guess" but way off.

I am going to have a proper "guess" and say the model railway on the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.

That' s on the dome of the Clock tower on the Guildhall Faversham Town Centre.
The clock beneath the Dome was made by Francis Crow ,who made my Grandfather Long case Clock circa 1799.

OK, after a bit messing about I have got an image off my phone and onto the laptop.

So which building does this sit on top?

[John Walker]

A very good punt John Filmer

Thank you Dave The Train -- you have solved a puzzle with your map of Cliffs End Hall.
I have been trying to find out about it for a long time.
It was the residence of the` Scale`s family `  ---  I went there before the war, as a boy.

[John Walker]

Thanks Dave


I wasn't certain but I would have driven past it many times in the 60s.  It must have left an imprint in my memory.


Next one ....

[DaveTheTrain]

Well done, John.  You have it.   It is here on this 1963 map, if the link works.  You will need to zoom out a couple of times if you are not a subscriber, but the detail is good enough.  I lived not far from here, in the 1980s but I think it may have been gone by then.

It looks coastal ?  Makes me think of where the Jet filling station is on the Sandwich Road, Cliffsend?
