Guess the Place

[johnfilmer]

Not Eynsford, Pete, nor a castle.

Eynsford Castle?

[johnfilmer]

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?

[John Walker]

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?

[John Walker]

Is it Tenterden way?

Head North East a way Lutonman

[John Walker]

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?

[johnfilmer]

That’s the place JW. Over to you.


Also been known as Holborough House. A very nice property, there are some good sales details on line. Pay particular attention to the gas fired stove in the living room, fitted by some bunch of chancers about 15 years ago


The little virgin and child statue at high level on the front fascia is quite a novel feature.


The cellars are probably as big as my house.

[John Walker]

Looks like no other takers so here goes ...


Chuch House, High Street, Yalding ?

[johnfilmer]

I’ll give another clue JW, if no further takers, then post the answer.


It is quite close to water, sometimes closer than usual...

[John Walker]

Found it but I'll hold back for now as I've had a few entries lately.
