It looks like an alley that leads to a car park in Faversham.  If I'm correct the building on the left is a pub.

The ground floor is currently an Indian Restaurant.

Thanks Diapason. It was a matter of image searching. I have never been in Bobbing Church, but I do drive by occasionally.

So, for the next one, I walked along this alley yesterday, and was most intrigued by the Tudor overhang. (on my way to lunch).
It is a bit obscure, so I think I need to support it with clues from the start.

The town mayor lived here for 4 non-contiguous years in the 18th century.
The town has a significant railway junction.

I have never seen this memorial, but the clues all pointed to Detling.


Next one ...

The village location of this memorial is about a kilometer downhill from the location it commemorates.

It always surprises me how far the monument is from from the "location", also how recent.

From the wreaths I presume a war memorial, but is it a group (eg village) or for a single event such as a plane crash site?


Not quite right, but you are on the right lines with a war memorial and planes.  Individuals are not named on it.


It covers the first and second world war.
