Thank,s Beachbum.  Definitely worth a Visit if only to visit the Time Tower and the Castle and the nice Pubs. Was holding off hoping some new blood would have a guess.
Next one.
 Heres a rural scene. Where did I spot this tree at the roadside?

After following a number of false trails, here's the location:
  • Nat Grid:               TR3763752810
  • Post:                     Deal Delivery Office, Stanhope Rd, Deal CT14 6AA
  • Coords (WGS84)  51°13'30"N 001°24'07"E or (WGS84)    51.22498,1.40203
Must visit Deal one of these days, I don't think I've ever been there.

"Dover is very warm" - not when I've visited it! ;)
So, we are looking for a building society or post office in a town near to, and smaller than, Dover.  So:
  • Deal
  • Whitfield
  • Folkstone
  • Walmer
?

I've been hunting around Canterbury, but now it seems that CT is pretty well all of the eastern half of the county.  Roughly anywhere east of a line from Herne Hill to Dymchurch.  From the building style it looks like a large town, Ashford or Dover?

   One of your options is correct MartinR (without giving it away).

Building Society?  Post Office?  Can't think of anything else that's "warmer".
