Next one, visible on GSV, but only from about here (this is not screen grab from GSV), there are properties beyond the bridge, but not visible on GSV.
Starter hint - yes it is a railway bridge.

We had our business based in Maidstone for many years, paying in to the HSBC just up the road. Saw these many times, and yes I also missed your GTP with them Grandarog.
Back soon, need to change devices...

@Lutonman: Any idea if those trails are suitable for mobility scooters?

Yes, old Barclays bank High Street and Bank Street Over to you John Filmer. I do recommend the trails found out quite a bit about Maidstone.

I think it was a Barclays. Corner of High Street and Mill Street, Maidstone. Just by the gun.

Is it anything to do with a Bank?
Possibly the long gone Martins Bank.

Yes, it took a long time to find it on GSV because other buildings blocked the view.
I take it's my turn.
I recently visited this town on a treasure trail and this was a clue, but where is it?

It's amazing. I went round that area on GSV and thought it would be easy to spot that chimney but no sign of it despite it's height. Once Lutonman had made his guess I was able to locate it.

Yes the Eurolink Estate, Sittingbourne. Originally Sittingbourne Sewage Works, built around 1902.
My Granddad was the first engineer there.
Sometime in the 1960`s I went inside but all the machinery had been removed and what photos I took have long since disappeared
Here`s one of the pumps; photo from Granddad`s collection.

You`re so close, JohnW.
I think that this building MAY be visible from Murston.
