Not the Brook, you must have taken a wrong turning from Brompton. Go the other way.
And you are right about a car park, although only recently. To most of us it was something a bit more fun then that back in the day.

Is it the old NAAFI shop Brompton.
No, but your getting closer to the destination. Once you saw this on your right, and the
? on your left, you knew you had arrived.

Try a wider view. It's use is not significant. So its more where it's located.

A Youth club in the Medway Towns ?
Medway Towns it is. Not a club; but plenty of people in and out all day long. Replaced with something similar and still in use today.

Not Queenborough. Should add this was demolished shortly after this pix was taken in the mid 60s

Yes, shoot999 you have it
The wide entrance on the left of the picture was a walkway right through to Commercial Road which still runs along at the rear of the shops when the one way traffic was introduced.
Well done and over to you

All the posts are interesting about the memories of the
Co-op so i can't offer to where this shop is as there are so many of them.
When my Mum died i was 10yrs old and my Dad used the small Co-op funeral shop in Chatham High Street to get the stamps
Lots of the shops were in old now historic buildings in main High Streets but this one was newly built in 1961 in the Medway Towns and is no longer a Co-op
Gillingham had the Gillingham Co-operative Society
Chatham had Chatham Co-operative
Rochester had its Rochester Co-operative
So if a "red herring" where is this shop?
You have to think how many separate towns were in the old Medway Towns
