Margate? If so maybe Turner?

This town has a station and a clock tower. We've been here before.
More clues to follow.

Thanks JohFilmer. It was the only line I could think of that matched. It was then just a matter of searching for the correct bridge. The pylons etc helped.
Next one ...
Where is this, and who lived here?

Please be generous and blame the heat. You are of course absolutely correct, I can only think I looked at the road. This captain will pick up his scrubbing brush and head "afore the mast for a while".

MartinR, looking down on the bridge, the line that we are looking along runs up a bit, and left a bit in navy lark speak.
Surely north west Captain.

Well done indeed. I hadn't a clue where I'd find a single track diesel operated network line in Kent. Anyhow, the view was looking
north-east
north-west from:
Nat'l Grid: TQ 77864 74848
Post Code: ME3 8QH
WGS 84: 51°26'41"N, 000°33'29"E or 51.44469,0.55804
Bit of nosing around: it's the line from Thamesport to Hoo Junction. It seems to be single line throughout, with no passing loops. Interesting level crossing at the A228/B2001 Grain Rd. Full gates, cabin and semaphore home signal. It's like something out of "Heartbeat".

Interesting. No electrification, so therefore worked by diesels.
