I think it is a pumping station, certainly it has a Southeast Water notice outside it.

Thanks DTT. Bishopsbourne is a lovely village with a pub, church and village hall. Nearby are Bourne Park House and Charlton Park house.

Found it - Bishopsbourne and the Mermaid Inn. One of the cottages is named Hokey Cokey Cottage
. As you say DTT, it hasn't changed a lot.

The pub today looks much the same, as does the road.
