Found it at last.  The Street, Lynsted.
Looks like it hasn't changed a lot externally.

That caught me out, I was simply going through the forts :)
This is an old rural post office - but where? It is north of M2

Well from the satellite view I couldn't find the exact location, so the centre of the fort is at:
  • Nat'l grid:    TQ 751 650
  • Post code:  ME4 6HZ
  • WGS84:     51°21'N, 000°31'E or 51.358,0.514
<rant>Please note the accuracies.  100m is plenty accurate enough for a structure of this size!</rant>

It is indeed Fort Horsted, the view shows the counterscarp gallery in on of the angles of the moat which was capable of firing in either direction. The occasion was a KHF organised visit to the fort which is now a small industrial park in October 2012 . I always liked this picture as the hanging vegetation and greenery resembles an abandoned city in the Amazon jungle straight out of an Indiana Jones movie.
Over to you :-)
