NE from Ashford.  The wall plate (without the flowers) is clearly visible on GSV.  The GSV image shows a different name to the one visible last summer, apparently the previous establishment went bust but the GSV image is from April 2017.

I expect the flowers are dead now so how about some more clues........ rather a small item to find in the whole of Kent  :-\

Not Medway Towns, further from water away than that.  The photo was taken at 14:57:19 on 2 June 2019.

Time for a hint.  It's clearly an industrial building, but nowadays serves a more bibulous function.  Quite a way from any significant waterway.

Both my sons went there, and the youngest left in 2018 so it was a bit familiar!
I saw this lovely wall plate on the side of a building, nice bit of detail.  What building and where?

Blimey, that brought back some memories - used to walk through that entrance every school day for 5 years....

Is that the old garage on the 'top road' A2 opposite where Tesco is now?  Rainham Mark.  Next to the old Belisha Beacon.
