Thanks for the Clue John Walker, it's Emmanuel Church, Victoria Road, Margate. Zion Cemetery next to it.

A special school nearby was closed and demolished in recent years.  (That should help)

Is this Broadstairs, John?

Not Broadstairs DTT but in the right general area of the county.

Sorry MartinR - I only half answered your question.  Yes, it was a church. Pentecostal Evangelical Christian Church.

Head for the eastern side of the county.

A church somewhere in Kent.  Possibly Catholic.  Is it still in use as a church?

As part of GHQ Stop Line it would be expected to delay and hopefully compartmentalise invading German troops while mobile Allied defenders could be used to better effect.

The weir and lock probably had some strategic significance in maintaining the river as a navigable route.
