It’s the old Maidstone Hospital in Marsham Street, where now stands Hengist Court.

Beachbum is closest with King's Lodge, Maidstone. Don't forget, this building was demolished in the 80s/90s.
Replaced by a large sheltered housing complex which is named after an ancient king.

Beachbum You must be joking with King Arthur Court. Sittingbourne doesn't have any archtechural marvels.
Exeptions being Church,s and the Artdeco Burtons shop front and the old Odeon Cinema.

King Arther Court, Sittingbourne?
More central Kent. This building was purpose built.

Very interesting one JohnFilmer and thank you for telling us about your family.
Next one ...
Another lost building. This is part of a large building. Now replaced by a Sheltered Housing Complex named after a king.

JW has it, the Chapel of St Mary Magdelene at Lidsing.
I found an interesting article with more pictures
https://jamesweirhbcblog.wordpress.com/2014/07/10/the-lost-chapel-of-lidsing-kent/
My interest comes from my mother's grandfather who left his job in Chatham Dockyard, as an Anglesmith, after his wife died in 1903. He left Luton and took on The Harrow at Lidsing. My mother visited frequently, the family walking from Luton Road and back on a Sunday afternoon. She always pronounced the hamlet as Lidjin.
Walter Colyer went on to marry his Irish barmaid Catherine, 20years his junior, and kept the Harrow until his death in October 1921.

Apologies if I'm getting later at doing the locations but I'm finding sitting at the computer increasingly uncomfortable, so need to do things in short bursts.

Go south from Hoo, to the very edge of Medway. Maidstone creeps up to surprise many.
