Found it - that last clue helped.  I'll pass for now as I'm away from my PC etc for a week.

The twist is that it serves two nearby villages, situated between them.

It honours all the local fallen, with no other specific definition.

Not in a village or churchyard?
Perhaps a memorial to staff from a country estate, or a public school?

 Mid Kent is more correct.

I thought I knew this one, but on checking, it's similar but not the one in your photo.

East Kent ?

Forge Garage location:
  • Address:                   The Street, Frittenden
  • Nat Grid:                   TQ 81491 41199
  • Nearest Post Code:   TN17 2DG
  • Co-ords (WGS84):     51°08'29"N,000°35'35"E or 51.14129,0.59308

The two previous GTPs didn't need location information IMHO. :)

A disappearing breed the local garage. Here in Doddington we have a thriving Service Station, it even still sells fuel. My last local garage was Wents Service Station at the top of Ulcombe Hill, and that is still going strong, but has not sold fuel for many years.

Meanwhile, sorry to have been a while, I started to turn a replacement knob for the lid of an elderly Le Creuset pot and kept on until my wife returned home. Still all done, just going to powder coat it for best effect.

The next one was intended for use the other day, but I used another, so here it is. This is unusual as the monument is not in either a central village position, or churchyard.

Well done JohnFilmer.  You earned that one.  Photo shows the later replacements after corralls discontinued petrol sales.  These have been left in place as a feature after the garage had been converted to residential use.

Over to you

Auto correct, or rather auto incorrect, of Egerton. But not there then…

Just found Olivers - a very similar set-up but a different brand to the one that replaced Corralls.  Now residential but they've left the latest pumps as a feature. 
You need to head South West.  :)

Is it Oliver’s at Everton?

Not sure about that location but it's not there.

National Trust location to the South.

I presume you are all waiting for more clues?

Rumours were once started by the locals to attract visitors to the area where these old pumps were.
