Mid Kent, not Dover.


Ecclesiastical connection, but not Bayham. Finally got the darned predictive text thingy to stop putting Balham!

Not Eynsford, Pete, nor a castle.

That was the product of a bit of careful sleuthing and a lot of luck - start at the Cathedral and work outwards I thought. Couldn't be much closer :) It was good to be back electronically wandering the streets of Canterbury.
Where are these remains?

The view through the gates on GSV that are signed Old Palace, is almost identical to your picture.


It’s the chimney pot that clinched it!


Wow!  I wasn't expecting it to go that quick.  What gave it away?  :)


Back to you JohnFilmer


The view is from outside the west end of the cathedral, looking through the gates of The Old Palace.  I had a walk round a couple of days ago.

That tower looks like it could be St Alphege in Canterbury?

Is it a bell tower?


Are the gardens in the foreground open to the public, and is the building on the same site?
The garden is private but the view is from an area open to the public.


The building is across a road.  Six Bells for Full Circle Ringing.   No longer used as a church.

Thanks JohnFilmer


I thought you would get more guesses on that one.


This one might be a real stinker.  This view is not on GSV so questions/clue might be needed unless someone recognises it.  No clues to start with.


Where is this photo taken from?
