I believe  its a police station, JW.  The crossed glazing bars above being the clue.  Its not Ramsgate but I cannot pin it down, so I throw the clue in to help others.

I can understand your thinking DTT but unfortunately not a police station.  I don't think this building was ever a police station as there is a building not far away that was the old police station.  The side street beside this building has the same name as the purpose of this building.

Customs House at port?


Not a port JohnFilmer.   


Clue: A street near the coast.  The door can be seen on GSV.

MartinR, Google has renamed The Street, but the locals haven’t! I have found this happens quite often where sections of roads change their name for relatively short distances, especially in rural areas.

Hundreds of people walk past that door probably every day.  Until a few years back, a lot of them would have entered that doorway.

I was searching for "The Street", I see that it's been renamed "Eastling Road"!

Had a bit of luck there and ended up in Eastling after only a couple of searches.   Thanks for the additional info JohnFilmer.




Next one.


Where will you find this ornate door?

Still exists.
