All Saints Church, West Stourmouth?
Well done JohnFilmer. Well worth a visit. It's like a step back in time.
Over to you.

Is the river  the River Stour?

The closest river is a tributary of the Great Stour. .  You're closing in. 

Apologies - I might have given the wrong answer earlier, as during my visit it gave every indication of being in use but I've just read that it's a redundant Anglican church.

Thanks, JohnFilmer

I've driven past that area many times and had no idea there was a theatre there.

Next one ....

It is indeed JW, home to what started as Rainham Amateur Theatrical Society aka RATS, back in the mid 60s.

My sister did a while as an active performer in those days. My mother was an active supporter until her death in 1989.

I remember it as a very small, intimate space, a real theatre in miniature, with a decent bar… oh and some very competent actors and singers, even writing and performing a complete musical during my sister’s time there.

Over to you JW

There is a Citroen dealer nearby, but the “place” to guess is more social than business.
