Power is how fast you hit a wall and torque is how far you can push it....

Not Greenhithe, but sufficiently close that I had to check.
Not Burham.
How many locos have you seen in this country with any sort of gearing?  Not many since the Salamanca of 1812.

Burham Quarry.  Low-geared to move extra heavy loads?

Borstal Cement Works near Rochester ?


Gear drive is more powerful / torque with less losses in the drive.

Not Frindsbury, but that is cement dust.  Why would there be a geared drive?

Here's a trickier one (unless you've read the same book I nicked it from).  "Guess The Place", and as a bonus what on earth is happening with the drive mechanism and what is the second Kent connection?

Looks like Deal Castle to me.  It might have been bitter that day, that's an iron not a brass monkey. :D
