Guess the Place

[John Walker]

Never seen that before - looks a bit spooky...

Medway area?

[KeithG]

Thank you John...


Not a church, but should be easy? 

[John Walker]

Just looked in and missed the previous guesses but KeithG has it.  5 minutes walk away from my house.   The church is rarely pictured from this view.  It's very tight to get far enough back.


So .....    over to you Keith.


That parking place is rather apt MartinR

St Martins Church Canterbury?

Mary Tourtel... creator of Rupert Bear is buried  here.

[MartinR]

Nackington, St Mary's?  Though I haven't solved the "bear" clue yet.

(OT) Whilst searching for this I checked out Westbere.  Have a look at this rather unfortunate parking space on the road between the church and the graveyard: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.3065491,1.1434324,3a,75y,275.67h,45.59t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sWIOWr4ofQID4Fy4QKf8-eA!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo0.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3DWIOWr4ofQID4Fy4QKf8-eA%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D195.25465%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en

St Martins Wooton

Too far east KeithG.   There is a connection with a bear.

[KeithG]

St Mary Magdalene Monkton?

East Kent KeithG

I was out at the time and only had my mobile so couldn't put up an alternative GTP.  As I saw it, it was a valid GTP.  We have had many GTP of streets so I didn't see this as being that different apart from the clues would help identify the street.  I was sure that every member would have seen that view on a visit to the railway, so expected it to go quickly.


The clues so far were:
SW of Canterbury
A castle - Bodiam
The museum - Railway Museum at the station
Nostalgic smell - coal and steam
I had other clues ready.


I should in hindsight just have put the picture of the street and asked guess the place.  I felt it would add a bit of interest this way.  You can actually see the crossing gates at the bottom of the road.   Trying to get away from. "Oh no - not another bloody church in the middle of nowhere"  ...      


I'll put an alternative GTP up later

I'm afraid that something about " a twist", comes to mind. Although I am unable to participate due to not having lived in Kent ( apart from 1966-1968) since 1947, I enjoyed reading these posts, especially, as Castle says, the descriptions by JohnWalker. The odd " road to" doesn't warrant giving up methinks. All I can say is, sad.

To my point of view, I think it adds interest to the `Place` When John Walker described `where`
it was, even I should have `got` it, as I have stood looking down this road, to the station.
