It seems to have  a poster in the window for st Mary's church.  There is an image of boats in the window.  I keep thinking sandwich.  But cannot find it.

Well spotted DTT.  Right name for the local church but not Sandwich.  Come inland a wee bit, then head roughly north and look for a village.

Seems to have got a bit stuck.

I think that it’s Minster, in Thanet not Sheppey.

The village church has a spire.

Eastry Post Office, Sandwich Road?

Not there Beachbum but you're not too far away.

Gotcha! That odd angled upper elevation is quite distinctive.

But I’ve only just been, so someone else can find it.

Although much has changed on the frontage, the angled elevation is still there on GSV.

Clue:  Village

It is a building style that is common in Whitstable and Herne Bay.

Right end of the county.  Keep heading roughly ESE.

Where is this post office?  Can be seen on GSV. The frontage is much changed (but not for the better).

Thanks Stewie   I wasn't sure as it looked bigger than the ones I walked past in Folkestone.  I realise now that it's a mirror the camera is pointing at making it look much larger.  Folkestone Harbour Arm is well worth a visit, preferably on a sunny day and at a weekend when all the restaurants are open.  It's quite an atmosphere and plenty of history.

Next one up shortly.

Yes you are correct JohnWalker the restaurant is called  'Shesells Seashells' and this can be seen engraved in the mirror, presumably what grandarog was referring to? I was aware of this but wondered if anyone would make the connection. Mrs Stewie and myself enjoyed a bowl of 'moules mariniere' on Folkstone harbour arm in the late afternoon sunshine after walking around the harbour.
Over to you JohnWalker.
