Great Picture . That's the Memorial Tank at Folkestone. Apparently it never showed its Number after the council repainted it. It was No 4609 a Female Mk 1.
Here it is being cut up for scrap.

Yes Keith, it's Brookland.  Nice ring of 6 though it seems odd standing on the earth floor and having to step over beams.  There are two structures, a framework carrying the bells and the outside weatherproofing.  All in all a campanile worth visiting.  Details of the bells are here: http://kent.lovesguide.com/tower.php?id=3
