Conyer Creek? ( Not sure if a creek is classed as a river)

Riverside?
Not sure what you mean by Riverside; as in a particular area, but it is by a river. Not Faversham.

Reminds me of a building at Standard Key, Faversham. Could it be?

Light industrial building (being repaired)?
It's been many things. A store, shop, cafe, part of a private dwelling. And no, not being repaired, more cladding.
There are and always have been light industrial units within the vicinity.

Through the arch and down on the right were numerous business places two of which i used one in 1964 for items for my GT200 Lambretta and another in the mid 1970`s they sprayed my Mk11 Lotus Cortina.

The Cut, Chatham? If so, from memory two arches were for the fire brigade, one the back entrance to Frank Bannister's motorcycle shop, and the remaining arches were bricked up.

Would this be one of the many arches under the rail line in Strood?

Thanks CAT.....recognised the layout as when i moved to Hythe around 2003 that was my journey up to Tesco and on the way back dived in the Pub.
Next one is where might this be and where did it lead to in the 1960`s / 70`s ?

Having looked again, the image must pre-date 1929 as the construction of a small shop/post office on the southern end of the terrace of houses (seen as the white building on KeithG's screen shot) is shown on the 4th Ed OS map, but not on the 3rd Ed OS map. So yes early twentieth-century would fit nicely.

Thanks. Looking at it I'd noticed what appears to be a motor tyre track in the foreground, so I was guessing 20thC. The lamp looks like it is gas, so we are talking after mains gas arrived buit before electric street lighting replaced them, so early 20thC.
