It is the entrance to the Strand, at Gillingham Green.  I think it stood approximately where the sailing club yard now is.  Francis Frith has a photo of it from 1955 which makes interesting viewing.

Not the Brook, you must have taken a wrong turning from Brompton. Go the other way.


And you are right about a car park, although only recently. To most of us it was something  a bit more fun then that back in the day.

Is it the old NAAFI shop Brompton.


No, but your getting closer to the destination. Once you saw this on your right, and the ???? on your left, you knew you had arrived.

Try a wider view. It's use is not significant. So its more where it's located.

A Youth club in the Medway Towns ?


Medway Towns it is. Not a club; but plenty of people in and out all day long. Replaced with something similar and still in use today.
