Okay, here we go.  So sorry chaps.  I had not got great confidence in my guess at the Strand, but just shows how wrong can you be.   Now,  where was I when I took this?

My Uncle and others getting the pool ready for another season; late 50s or early 60s.

Not the Dockyard. It's function in the 60s (and before that) is the same as it is now. Although the pic was taken when not in use.

Is it opposite the Commissioner`s House, in the Heritage Dockyard. Maybe a saluting base now.
The old wooden storehouse, stood on the site, before being burnt down, in the 1960`s.

Is it visible and the same on GSV?


Not on GSV, but can be seen on google maps. Has changed somewhat, but can still be identified for what its purpose is.

All close. Near water and in the Medway area. Pic is heavily cropped.

Steps in the background suggests rising ground beyond the photo's rear? Near water at all?

Not the hover port. A couple of clues in the pic to what it might be.
