I've been a bit slow on the response, but try this rural chapel, still in use, not converted to a house.
Road is... Chapel Lane  ::)

It’s the corner of Station Road and St Faiths Street.


I have been in the flat above next door, and they are as “interesting “ inside as out. A real challenge to find somewhere to put a boiler.


You have it JohnFilmer.  16 St Faith's Street, Maidstone.   Here's some details  https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101336189-16-st-faiths-street-maidstone-high-street-ward


Thanks for the coordinates MartinR.

Over to you.

In a built-up area.  Easily seen in GSV.

Thanks Shoot999.   A very interesting one and great find.  I didn't know the place existed but it looks quite a place.

Well worth a look on Google Street View 3D.  Quite fascinating.  All set up for re-enacting street riots and many other situations.




Next one - Where is this listed building?  (Street name removed)

You have it John. I stumbled across it when looking for other GTP within in the area and wondered why there was a train carriage and underground train in the middle of what looked like a college or something. Then  noticed most of the buildings only had the front wall.

Metropolitan Police Training Centre?  I can't find the exact location as per your photo, although there are plenty of similar blue doors.


Edit. Just found it. Was in shadow so the red sign doesn't show.
