They look suspiciously like the concrete mock shells at Slough fort.

Sorry the original image is a bit big and unwieldy.
Here's a more sensibly scaled one.

Re: my previous post to Jackie Paper, 'it is not Chilham'. However, Jackie Paper further said 'I now think it's Sutton Valence'. I have asked for a clarification as to whether this is a legitimate guess (of Sutton Valence). If it is then Jackie Paper should take the mantle (sorry John Walker), whom is also correct. It is indeed Looking down Tumblers Hill towards Broad Street. See attached for comparison.

Good morning all and apologies for the delay, but the wife's birthday had to come first.

It is not Chilham Jackie Paper, though with the wealth of period buildings I can see why you would think so.

I'm sure you have had a fun time literally 'going around the houses'

Is your 'think it's' an actual guess as an almost identical view can be had on Streetview, virtually unchanged?

After a virtual tour of many Kent villages on streetview, I now think it's Sutton Valence.
