Long shot, but is it a silted up part of the Thames & Medway Canal?

FYI, while I'm thinking, the two halves of the Yantlet used to be joined and formed a navigable creek between the Medway and the Thames. It cut off the Isle of Grain from the Hoo Peninsular, thus making Grain a true island. The northern mouth of the Yantlet is marked by the London Stone. A line from there to near Southend-on-Sea marks the limit of London's control of the Thames. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yantlet
for more details.

Yantlett?
Not Yantlett. Never heard of that before, so had to look it up. Something else I've learnt.
In the correct general area of Kent though.

Right, here we go again.
Where was this view taken from and what is the name of the waterway?

In lieu of location information, this is how it looks today:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3223401,1.1948594,3a,26y,49.98h,91.06t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQOzjYJ319Maq0HJBRl5HRg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?entry=ttu
The pub on the right and the house on the left are basically unchanged apart from the front door being blocked up and the rendering applied. The rest of the street however ... !

Looks like Royal Oak on the signboard. I'll take a guess at the one that was in Upstreet although the rest of the photo looks very different to today.
