Yes John, you have it. 

I can understand why a phone photo would be a bit small, I used a 75-300mm f/4-5.6 lens at 105mm which with the crop factor of APC-C works out at 165mm.  I then further cropped the photo in GIMP.  Shutter speed was 1/200 with the on-camera flash fired.  I should have used an additional flash to bring out the 3D, but I'm afraid I was recovering from climbing the stairs (sad, I know).

I think I've found it but the image I've found is quite small on my mobile.   Guildhall Museum in Rochester - on the stairwell ceiling?

Where is this cheeky chappie?  I've a feeling this won't last too long.

Rochester 1912.
This image shows the unveiling of a plaque to commemorate the death of Percy Henry Gordon, who died whilst rescuing a girl from drowning in the nearby River Medway.

Sorry for delay folks, I do picture postings on this laptop as the iPad is hopeless (read that as I havn't a clue how to do it...) and herself was on a Zoom meeting yesterday evening. The joys of Sainsburys this morning, and here we are.
One of those 6" to mile OS map clues of a small village with everything there, School, Pub, Church, Vicarage and Church Farm.
Simple, but where? All the names of these features have been left on to help.
