It's not all bang on but frankly only a moron would expect it to be, but worth noting are the Dover Road (A25

and Deal railway line are positioned correctly

Theres another one (golf course) a little higer up the pic too.. maybe sandwich? but there's loads of courses out there..

I had a good look but it's not there. This a definitely not a complaint or problem to me, indeed I'm delighted that detail like this is even considered but technically there are far more courses now than there were in 1940. The sport was pretty exclusive back then and only really played by the wealthy and posh like Doug Badar

. These courses were mostly built when many sports and clubs formed up, late 19c and early 20c. I'm not convinced that a course would ever get turned over to the plough in 1940 given the wealth and power of the memberships.
