They look very young, so that means either (1) I'm getting very old or (2) it is a cadets' (ATC or CCF) parade at a school.

Thanks John Walker and Martin R for the info.

I had searched the area, but had not gone that side of the River.


So next one : where and what is the Occasion?

Thanks Beachbum.  The River Stour helped me locate it, I was looking at the coast last night.  Location:
  • Nat Grid:                    TR 32885 60198
  • Nearest Post Code:   CT13 9JW
  • Co-ords (WGS84):     51°17'36"N,001°20'20"E or 51.29326,1.33890

The structure is not on the Historic England map of listed buildings.

Having been the last one to set a clue before JW, I will keep my peace and let another find it.

A quick wizz around t’internet, and it was used in both WW1 & WW2.

Found it, I think…  :)

If so, Mr Google reckons it to be WW2 from the caption.

Anything to do with the explosives industry around Faversham?

Not there - head east.
