Thank you Stewie.   I would never have found it without your clues.  Great fun with my detective hat on.


Next one.


Where is this?

One thing about those older cottages; did you notice that the wall of the front garden was part of the flood defences, hence the boards slotted in where the gates were.  They look very picturesque, but I wouldn't want to live there, I'd be scared of flooding when there is a tidal surge like earlier this week.  The new houses are all built up about 6'.

Yes you have it JohnWalker, we were walking to Gillingham Riverside Park and back and passed this interesting house, would love to know a bit more about it. Just along from here the front gardens of some more houses are decorated with 'beach' and nautical themes as well.
Over to you  :)

Just to the east of The Strand parallel with Waterside Lane?  Next to Medway Cruising Club overlooking the Medway.

Time for some clues.
Mrs Stewie and myself went for a walk earlier this year and using our Ringo app to pay for our car parking, followed the course of a river passing a temporarily closed train station serving a recreational area which has been a popular attraction with families for many years. The building itself is not visible on street view, but took our attention and Mrs Stewie photographed it suggesting it could be used on GTP. 
Unfortunately , we do not know a lot about the building and was rather hoping someone else would!


The mystery building is located between a small boatyard and a small industrial estate.
There were some sunken barges nearby creating a breakwater or haven for the nearby boatyard.
