One of the boats on the other side of the Medway, opposite "Upnor Castle" battlement (If you were lucky) :)

Thanks Jacki Piper, being born and bred in Chatham, I recognised this one quite quickly. I don't really have much to offer and will be out and about this weekend so this one should go fairly promptly. So if I fired this cannon what would I hit?

They are only easy if you know them. I know this one...

Having just "been" I'll pass, no doubt one of the many local inhabitants will be along shortly. ::)

OK. Here's one.
Not sure if it's too easy or too difficult...

No info on the date. The undeveloped surroundings suggest soon after opening in 1876?
Odd that it should be painted over the decorative brickwork visible in some other pictures though.
