Busy boatyard at end of track past the huts.


Not Sevenoaks or Gravesend.

It’s quite common to be in a queue on the road there. Two causes.


Railway station close by.


The church on the horizon in the photo sits on a crossroads.

Further west(ish) Diapason, and don’t forget it’s very near water.


A Grade 1 listed structure is very close.

The flags are a mystery to me.


Mid 19th century this was an area heavily involved in hop growing.


Water close by.

Hop pickers' huts somewhere?  There look to be oasts in the distance.

Are the Union Flags significant?  Scout camp?

I've defaulted to a Google screenshot.
Where is this row of huts? There are excellent clues in the picture, that I left in. There are quite a few images from many dates of this view, so you get the sense that its a busy road.
