Not Medway Towns, further from water away than that.  The photo was taken at 14:57:19 on 2 June 2019.

Time for a hint.  It's clearly an industrial building, but nowadays serves a more bibulous function.  Quite a way from any significant waterway.

Both my sons went there, and the youngest left in 2018 so it was a bit familiar!
I saw this lovely wall plate on the side of a building, nice bit of detail.  What building and where?

Is that the old garage on the 'top road' A2 opposite where Tesco is now?  Rainham Mark.  Next to the old Belisha Beacon.

Tidal or non-tidal Medway?  Are those distinctive oriel windows still visible?
