Yes.  Earlier I gave the clue that it was south of the Medway Towns.

Thank you, the last letter is a 'V' making the date in Roman Numerals 1945. War Memorial somewhere?

No, it's an "X".
Hint: look very closely at the last letter. ;)

Is the first 'letter' of the lower number a slash rather than an 'X' ?

It's two parts of one number.  You need to look very closely though.

I make the upper number 1900 but the lower letters do no appear to be a valid Roman number ?

Was the bottom number the date of original build and was the top number the rebuild date?

Mine displays it correctly, both as the thumbnail and as the enlarged image.
