I think that is the Clock Tower of the old Looney Bin at Leybourne .West Malling.
Now converted to flats named Royal Victoria Place .
I think the grounds are engulfed in housing now.

Not railway related, and Faversham is too far east.
The tower design is a familiar design in similar settings.

It is amazing what comes to light through GTP!
Unlikely to raise that sort of interest, but where is this - a very new Google image of part of an historic site.

An interesting article Jackie Paper. I knew that complete German aircraft were prized as my Grandad used to go out with a vehicle called a 'donkey' to collect them. I didn't know of the name 'Rafewaffe' before.

Fascinating stuff.
I like the name 'Rafwaffe' used for the captured German aircraft flown in WWII, hadn't heard of it until recently.
