Rack no more grandarog, it is indeed Iden Green. The small building was a drinking fountain, presumably over a well (?) with a hand pump. Installed to commemorate the golden jubilee of queen Victoria.
Over to you grandarog.

Not a village fire pump MartinR, but probably more water necessary.

Did the pyramid originally house the village fire pump?

There could be a well beneath, but water is certainly involved with this structure.

Its not a lock up Pete, though it did have a community function when first constructed as a commemorative structure

Is the pyramid roof building an old lock up?

Not a million miles away John Walker, but not south of Ashford and a little further away it being surrounded by the 'Dens'.

This has the feel of some of the roads heading roughly south out of Ashford?

There is indeed johnfilmer. Though the trees and hedges along both sides of the road have grown since the picture was taken, the weather boarded house on the left is still there as well as the guide post on the left side of the junction. The most important survival is the small pyramidical roofed structure on the right, which still survives unaltered.

Many thanks Stewie. Not that I'm a train buff, but signal boxes are something quite distinctive.
Here's my next, which is well away from my own stomping ground, but a charming rural scene none the less.
