Unfortunately your photo gives the place and location. Try another one.

Thanks Johnfilmer,
Mrs Stewie and myself had a day out last year and a bite off something to eat. So where was we when we were making our menu choices?

I’ve reread the replies now that I’m not eating my dinner at the same time.
The correct answer is Eastchurch Station, which I now acknowledge Stewie as mentioning, so therefore he is the winner.

The map left edge is actually the edge of that map page. The next map page has the structure in 1906….

Directly to the left is/was HMP Standford Hill and slightly below is the rest of the Sheppey Prisons cluster. If I'm right, then the location of The White House (now demolished) was at:
Nat'l Grid: TQ 98717 70313
Nearest Post Code: ME12 4DS
Co-ords (WGS84): 51°23'49"N,000°51'19"E or 51.397041, 0.855185

All I can find to the left is St Clements Church and what appears to have been a small housing estate called Paradise.?

Stewie is so close… But, the map is based on a survey from 1906, which predates aerodrome .

Is it the Sheppey Light Railway Eastchurch station? If so to the left would be the old aerodrome.

Not Sharnel Street either Martin
As the choices are limited I’m not giving helpful directions at the moment

Yes JW, only a single track, and the map is correctly aligned.
