No.  Now you mention, I've never seen details about any opening for that.  Thanks for reminding me, I must see if there is ever any public access.

You can see that the Hollingbourne one is the same design, see below.  Now for the next GTP. where would I find this carpentry? (Edited to use a photo the right way up!)

Beachbum, I think that's the Hollingbourne water tower, junction of Hollingbourne Hill and Ringlestone Road.  If so it is located at:
  • Nat Grid:                  TQ 85627 56425
  • Nearest Post Code: ME17 1QJ
  • Co-ords (WGS84)    51°16'36"N,000°39'36"E or 51.2767,0.6600
I've found another one in Herne Bay, surrounded by Mickleburgh Hill, Dence Park and Lavender Grove :
  • Nat Grid:                  TR 18699 67901
  • Nearest Post Code: CT6 6FG
  • Co-ords (WGS84):   51°22'05",001°08'26"E or 51.36804,1.14050

Somehow my previous post got lost.  Anyhow, following Beachbum's solution I spent quite some time going up and down (virtually) The Street and couldn't find the view.  It's actually at the top of Taylor's Hill, Not at the end of The Street.  Camera location:
  • Nat Grid:                  TR 06790 53605
  • Nearest Post Code: CT4 8BZ
  • Co-ords (WGS84):   51°14'39"N,000°57'41"E or 51.24412,0.96138

Very distinctive, and I spent most Saturdays in 1969 helping to build the organ in the church opposite  ::)
