Guess the Place

[Beachbum]

Dymchurch beach with a section of the Mulberry Harbour?

Wow! I wasn't expecting that Grandarog.  I saw the house name (Kippen) on the inscription and did a search.  The one in Frinsted came up so I took a punt on it being St Dunstans Church.


Next one - shouldn't be too difficult.

Quick answer, "Ouch" correct Stab.
 
If you google the family name, there's lots of info about them.
The house still stands and is listed.
Over to you John Walker.

Quick stab - St Dunstan's Church, Frinsted?

Thank,s MartinR.
 Apologies, my bad for spelling Synagogue incorrectly.
Sticking with the same theme ,
Where did I come across this Memorial some 12 years ago.

[MartinR]

Quite right, I didn't think that would last too long.  It's rare to have a burial ground alongside a synagogue, it's one of the uniqure features at Chatham.  Next to the grave I showed is the rather large memorial to Lazarus Simon Magnus whose father paid for the present synagogue as a memorial to his son.  Location for anyone interested:

Thats at Chatham Synagog Cemetery. There are 2 other Jewish graves there from the First World War. One was a female Merchant Navy Stewardess if I remember correctly.

Here's one that some of you may know instantly, the others will have to work on!  It's a Commonwealth War grave, but where?

All yours MartinR. Used to sit up there or  Jacksons on a Sunday in the 50s with all the other kids watching the coastal traffic return. Simpler times.

That's the shelter between the clock and the St Catherines Hospital alms houses at the top of Star Hill, Rochester.  The photograph is taken from a funny little appendix of City Way:

• WGS84:                     51°22'60"N  000°30'30" or 51.38329,0.50839

I suppose I should add that those are the new almshouses dating from the late 1790, the original hospital was on the High Street and was founded in 1315 by Symond Potyn.  The current buildings are listed grade II.

Thanks Lutonman. It had stuck in my mind from a previous GTP as Mickey Pearce from Only Fools and Horses attended the reopening a few years back.


Next one. A  familiar site to those that know....

[Lutonman]

Well done Shoot999 and over to you.

I remember this from a previous GTP. I'll hang back for a while to make sure I've got something suitable to put up if no one else calls it in the meantime.
