Hint: the photo was taken from the pavement along side a busy road.
It is not visible in GSV because the GSV scene is summer with lots of leaves.

Location of Chart:
  • Nat Grid:                   TR 00967 61240
  • Nearest Post Code:  ME13 7SE
  • Co-ords (WGS84):    51°18'53"N,000°52'57"E or 51.314769,0.882362
Right, here's the next one.  Clearly a WWII pill box (zero marks for that) but where?


Just to correct Martin R the actual answer is Oare Gunpowder works country park at post code ME13 7UD and not Chart as you stated in your reply. Your picture was correctly captioned though!.

Well done Martin R my footballing analogy about having the ball cleared off the line (i.e. a last attempt to prevent a goal), related to your rejecting the Oare Gunpowder works earlier!
For those who have followed Bernard Cornwell's 'The Last Kingdom' series, in the book 'Sword of Kings' Uhtred comes to Oare Creek on route to Faversham to rescue the mother of the future King Athelstan.
We thought Oare Gunpowder works to be worth a day out (combined with a trip to Standard Quay). Its very photogenic but we would like to return when the visitor centre is open which is on Sundays I think. 
Over to you Martin R  :)
