Not Faversham, Johnfilmer but you’re heading in the right direction, the building is no longer there and has been replaced by a housing development 🤓👍

Not Strood Martin R, the building was built by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway.

It has most definitely a railway connection Johnwalker, you can just make out the wooden platform I was standing on.

OK, so when I took the picture the building was mostly derelict but parts of it (the office), were still in use. The shape of the doors gives an insight into what the buildings purpose was, which will help towards its location.

Thanks for that information CAT, I have an interest in the fortifications around the Medway but also further afield. At the recent January members meeting at the Chatham Historical Society, I gave a short talk on Fort Luton which I will upload to this site later.
I have had a look through some old scanned photos I took in the early 1980's and have found this one for the next GTP.
So where was I when I took this with my Olympus Trip camera.

Thanks folks. Rather than Google I use DuckDuckGo which is more secure, but in this case yielded no hits. I followed the link to Google Maps from the WP page and it now does mention the guns: "Dover Turret (80 ton guns) temporarily closed", and it is where GSV labels the Dover fishing pier.
