Thanks, JohnFilmer - I lost count of how many times I searched that length of the line.  I don't give up easily, fortunately.


Next one ...  An easier one.

Well done JW, you have it!


That area is Ware Street, hence the where? Clue ::) 


I couldn’t find out anything about the Wesleyan chapel, but it predated the railway.


Carry on Number One...

The road under the bridge, and the farm further along it, is named for a feature shown on the earliest OS maps on NLS, but does not appear thereafter 1870s ish.

I've looked at many bridges along the line between Charing and Maidstone.  Very similar designs to the one in your photo but I haven't found the actual one so far.  Am I in the right area?

There is a road junction behind the photographer with a road that had much more importance before a Turnpike was built.

Next one, visible on GSV, but only from about here (this is not screen grab from GSV),  there are properties beyond the bridge, but not visible on GSV.
Starter hint - yes it is a railway bridge.
