Thank you Diapason.  My first thought was by the Neptune Car Park in Herne Bay.


Next one folks.


Still exists.  Has industrial history but now has a different use.   Can be seen on GSV.

Well done John.  I was confused by the port-hand buoy, it's unlit and therefore less obvious on the charts.

Well done Diapason.  The caption says "Elmley Ferry House; it was demolished about 1960".  Now it should be clear the the water was the River Swale, which is not really a river.

Google omits the "river", but it's always been called one.  The building has been demolished, but used to be residential.
