not quite but not many miles away so you are in the right sort of area. Its grade 2 listed if that is a help.

I think is somewhere between Weavering Street and Bearsted, but I have driven it on streetview but cannot find it. Am I close.

This looks like a cottage I've passed a few times near Selling. Anywhere near that area Bill?

I'm just back from a few days away and notice that we seem to have ground to a halt again.
I presume we're waiting for Bill Jones to put up his photo for us to guess?

As near as I can judge:
Nat'l Grid: TR 24650 38084
Post Code: CT18 7HL
WGS 84: 51°05'53"N, 001°12'26"E or 51.09803,1.20717
BTW, it's at Capel-le-Ferne. Putting Capel into Google sends you off into wildest Surrey, miles from the sea! Of course all you natives probably already knew that.

Well done Bill Jones
So it is the Magazine for Gun number three at Capel Battery (see site photo below).
The penny finally dropped with the hint

A magazine at capel at folkstone they have this photograph if you go and talk to the men their. A good walk but they sometimes let you in and chat and other times do not!

"Magazine" - very good. Something that you might read indeed. So is John's guess of the Dover Cliffs area near the mark?
