Can I adjust my answer, looking at old maps, there is a pumping station on tother side of the London Road, which on old maps is shown as Pump Lane, but is now Guardian Court.  Here lies the Rainham Mark WSW.   So I think it may have been Platters Farm.

I am going to guess and say its Pump Lane, Rainham.  I would have to guess and say it is by the old Bus Garage.

Not Meresborough, but you're close. Go a little bit further west. CAT, you're pretty much there re use, as it's for raising water.

The post closest to the camera appear to be rounded and with a 'drum' on top. Is it a covered winding mechanism, possibly for raising water or even a sluice gate?

DaveTheTrain - yes it is (or was) a well, but that's not a tank or a lever!

Is it a well?  That looks like a rivetted tank over the pump lever.  No idea where is it, however.
