Surely NOT the Strand in Gillingham ------------------------------------------- is it ?


There was a railway, many years ago
That`s where my mate & I used to go
Wednesday`s to meet -- a young girl
No no no, her name was not --- Pearl

It`s not the Maidstone Zoo or the Torry Hill railway so the Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway is the only one that I can think of, although the houses in the background don`t seem to fit in with any of them - likewise the Hythe, Romney and Dymchurch line  -  so, S&K.L.R?

I reckon The Gate House, corner of Victoria Park and Castle Hill, Dover.

Can probably smell the sea from here in the right conditions.
