You have it Local hiker - Quex House
My sister and Brother in Law - 1940s re-enactors. The cape on the dog is to carry water bottles if they find someone trapped.

Taken at Quex House near Birchington Kent." on the link, 20th May 2013. What is the dog wearing?

Yes, that's my photo Local Hiker - one of my 6000+ images with Alamy under my Bax Walker Images pseudonym. I was covering a 1940s event.
But where was it taken?

East or West Kent? Still a private country house?

All heading in the right direction. He would have been a doctor with his rescue dog. The dog would locate trapped people after an air raid. The lady is a Nanny.
A country house but not too far out into the countryside. It still exists.

The Pramulater is of wartime vintage, the field gun between the two, puzzles me !
I thought it may have been ` Canada House ` before that. ( doctor & pram )
He may have been a part time `Warden `.

You don't think that he was a member of the "White Helmets" motorbike display team then?

Is the gent a doctor (judging by his bag) and probably during WWII as he is carrying a white painted tin hat?

Not for me John, I was only filling the gap. You got the location, so you have it.

A thorough explanation stuartwaters and totally correct, thought the Napoleonic war would have sufficed. As John Walker got the initial location it should go to him, but I'll let you resolve it between you both?
