The new month opens with a single part question, however several bonus points are available, one for working out why this location was chosen for today.  For ease, the insets are numbered from left to right Click the image for a larger version. |

1 June is a significant date for Kew Gardens station, but most notably, the District line service to Richmond started in 1877, serving this station..

That may be the case, I don't know, but it isn't the answer we are looking for. The link is more modern than that.

Just to try and help a bit, it's something specific to Kew Gardens, but completely relevant to the system as a whole........

I'll give you a clue that it is (or was) a religious establishment

Hmm. The cross on top is a bit of a clue. So are we looking at a former abbey or priory with a derelict building to the north ?
Stonework is light so could be southwest but does not look familiar; therefore Yorkshire?

It is a former abbey, it isn't in Yorkshire.
