It looks like two Boy Scouts in the road, so they bring the date to after 1908 at the very least.

Very impressive photo, I would love to know who the elegant lady in the serious black hat was, very assured in her body language.

Thanks John Walker, often treated as a shortcut until a bus gets involved  :)

The next one is circa 1900

Thanks JohnFilmer and MartinR for the location details.

Next one - (the bridge I thought JohnFilmer's GTP was, working from memory)   Not quite the same though.

Once again - a working line.

Well done JW.  The early bird certainly caught this worm.

You have it JW.

A bridge to nothing public after the houses. When I first went down the lane I had a Scout mad son and a couple of his friends who had permission to camp further on. I remember the bridge being dark and forbidding, possibly more trees each end. Our superb Land Rover Defender 110 always made you feel pretty invincible, it went just about anywhere.

Back to you JW

Found it - Goddington Lane, Harrietsham.   

I'll use the one I thought it was as my next GTP.

Mid Kent! - it's not where I thought it was ( a very similar bridge and river).  I'll start searching.

 Not the Hastings Line, Mid Kent.

Oooo! Looks like someone didn't build the original wing walls properly.  Considering which, is it on the Hastings line?

A view of the distinctive brick structures on the other side of the bridge from the original image. Unique?
