I think this is a Margate brewer, I am assuming Margate or within five miles. Or have I got it wrong?

Found it.  My Bro in Law was born close to that location and used to go to church at this location when he was about four years old.  I'll hold for now as I've just had a couple of GTPs.

It looks like two Boy Scouts in the road, so they bring the date to after 1908 at the very least.

Very impressive photo, I would love to know who the elegant lady in the serious black hat was, very assured in her body language.

Thanks John Walker, often treated as a shortcut until a bus gets involved  :)

The next one is circa 1900

Thanks JohnFilmer and MartinR for the location details.

Next one - (the bridge I thought JohnFilmer's GTP was, working from memory)   Not quite the same though.

Once again - a working line.

You have it JW.

A bridge to nothing public after the houses. When I first went down the lane I had a Scout mad son and a couple of his friends who had permission to camp further on. I remember the bridge being dark and forbidding, possibly more trees each end. Our superb Land Rover Defender 110 always made you feel pretty invincible, it went just about anywhere.

Back to you JW

Found it - Goddington Lane, Harrietsham.   

I'll use the one I thought it was as my next GTP.

Mid Kent! - it's not where I thought it was ( a very similar bridge and river).  I'll start searching.
