I think I have the location, but am struggling to get the personality associations. If someone beats me to it, then well done them.

To narrow down location. Just north of A20/M20?


Good question.    The bridge is about 1km south of the M20 and fractionally south of the A20.  That should narrow it down.

Mid Kent.  This view can easily be seen on GSV.

Beyond the bridge is a connection with at least two famous artists, an English poet and engraver, British Royalty, a French Statesman, Parliament, the USSR and the peace treaty with Japan.

Clue time:


A busy 'A' road that used to be even busier is behind the camera position.  The rail line on the bridge is still in daily use.  The line does not slope as it appears in the photo. It's level.      There is a rail tunnel aprox 800 metres to the right.

The road passes over a river after the bridge.

You all need to race further West from Medway. Very loosely Sevenoaks area.
