I noticed that their jetty still has rail tracks and a mini-turntable.

I think it had its own jetty in use at one time.

How near is "very near"?  Are we talking waterside, or a few streets inland?

Very near the Thames.
West of Gravesend but not as far as Ebbsfleet.

A chancer of a guess.  Remains of the Vox Amplification factory in Dartford?


As a Kent teen growing up in the sixties and heavily into  music, there was much to be proud of. Not least it being the home of the AC30.  :)
