Stewie is so close… But, the map is based on a survey from 1906, which predates aerodrome .

Is it the Sheppey Light Railway Eastchurch station? If so to the left would be the old aerodrome.

Yes JW, only a single track, and the map is correctly aligned.

Sorry to have been AWOL we had an intermittent broadband issue that seems to have gone away for now.

As a quick get it going question I have reverted to an old map, 1906/8 25inch OS. It is small, as I had to crop it a lot to keep too much information hidden.

Should be simple enough, but the question is what is off to the left of the image?

It's in a place called "East End" which is a little distance from Benenden village.  It's just off the minor "Benenden Road" down Green Lane.  the building is centred at:
  • Nat Grid:                    TQ 83498 35173
  • Nearest Post Code:   TN17 4AX
  • Co-ords (WGS84):     51°05'11"N,000°37'07"E or 51.08652,0.61867

Not Dover.  You need to be around 35 km westish from there. DTT was closer earlier.
