I have driven past there countless times, even did a survey in that building, which was some sort of care worker organisation. The memory is defintely getting dimmer, as I recognised it straight away but the penny took a long time to drop as to where it is.

Back with the next one soon...

Johnfilmer has is correctly, the Coachman's Cottage.  Entrance to Turkey Mill, A20 Ashford Road, just outside of Maidstone.

A seasonal offering, that was stuffing you.  etc. etc. were the clues.

The wall on the right is gone, Vinters Park?, I think that it is the entrance to Turkey Mill off the A20 at Maidstone.

Not Headcorn, Martin but you are getting closer.  7.8 miles as the crow flies from Headcorn to our location.

Clearly visible on Street View.

Not EK JW, other direction.  I know what you mean about the Eastwell Manor Wall. I drive past it every work day on the school run.

This might have you stuffed  ;)

I don't think it is where I thought it was - The long wall on the boundry of Eastwell Manor along the A251 Faversham Road. A GSV search doesn't show this view as far as I can see.    The search continues.

East Kent?

Well it looks like the boundary wall of Weston Park as it passes through Weston-under-Lizard.  However I suspect that western edge of Staffordshire may be a little out of area.  ;D

Its funny Martin, but I do now check that the postcard is from the area it purports to be.  A quick google SV check this morning, and its still in Kent.

I think I know that wall but I'll hold for now as I've recently put a couple up.
