I have a vague recollection that I've worked near this, but can't remember where or what it was for. I keep getting drawn to the Manston, Thanet area and it's the base of a gasometer? I'll have to search better for a more precise location and function.

Not military CAT .   It's location seems a bit rural for what it was originally built for.  There might have been an aviation connection though.

Not quite.  On the Strand, Gillingham which is why Hoo Island appears as such a bank.

Try this one then.  Taken this afternoon, and apologies for the hair but it won't stop you looking for the church.

Wow.... Nice find shoot999
I used those toilets loads of times walking home up to Frindsbury from Star Hill bus stops because of traffic jams along the High Street in the early 1960's..... moved to Frindsbury in 1956 from Gillingham.
Apart from North Street they were the only ones but that was out the way as Canal Road was the shortest route for me.

Recognised them straight away. Not least helped by the fact I'd only just watched this.

Yes MartinR you have that....


There were two of these still there but covered in a metal sheet in place of the glass ones.


Over to you.....
