Guess the Place

[johnfilmer]

Nearer to Rodmersham than Faversham.

[John Walker]

Outskirts of Faversham?

Eastish (sorry MartinR  ) from there, JW.

[John Walker]

Rodmersham area?

[johnfilmer]

That caught me out, I was simply going through the forts
This is an old rural post office - but where? It is north of M2

[MartinR]

Well from the satellite view I couldn't find the exact location, so the centre of the fort is at:

• Nat'l grid:    TQ 751 650
• Post code:  ME4 6HZ
• WGS84:     51°21'N, 000°31'E or 51.358,0.514

<rant>Please note the accuracies.  100m is plenty accurate enough for a structure of this size!</rant>

It is indeed Fort Horsted, the view shows the counterscarp gallery in on of the angles of the moat which was capable of firing in either direction. The occasion was a KHF organised visit to the fort which is now a small industrial park in October 2012 . I always liked this picture as the hanging vegetation and greenery resembles an abandoned city in the Amazon jungle straight out of an Indiana Jones movie.
Over to you :-)

Running out of forts! Fort Horsted?

[Lutonman]

Fort Luton?

[John Walker]

Should we be looking as far as Sheerness ?

[Stewie]

Sorry Lutonman, not Fort Borstal

[Lutonman]

How about Fort Borstal

[Stewie]

Lutonman, I don't believe so, the relevance was that it was a KHF organised visit. :-)

Stewie,
Is this a fort where people on the old history forum worked?

[Stewie]

It is the Medway area, it is not on an island and you will not find it on GSV unless you use the satellite imagery, I can give another clue which would give it away but for the moment lets say that the photo was taken about 10 years ago and has some relevance to the Kent History Forum.
