Always difficult to know how many clues to leave. Too few and the thread stalls. When I see '
an A road, a railway, a river', I usually head for the Wateringbury area or Cuxton.

Great clues JohnFilmer. Church of St Peter and St Paul, Teston. I'm guessing the ancient structure is the nearby bridge over the Medway?

Back to a church - I do like to ring the changes...
Near (but not next to) an A road, a railway, a river and close to an ancient structure.

More on it at
https://web.archive.org/web/20180215024132/http://bluebellhilltrust.org/history/
and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_Bell
In case that's tl;dr, the old tunpike road up Bluebell Hill was too narrow for two coaches to pass and so the two pubs the Upper Bell (now demolished) and Lower Bell controlled the traffic by ringing a bell. The lower Bell has been around since at least 1790, but the current buildings only date from 1865.

I’ve hung on a while in case someone else had a go, but Ding Dong, it’s The Lower Bell, Bluebell Hill.
