Outskirts of a small hamlet west of Canterbury. On the North Downs Way.

The route shows up as a blue line in GSV when you click on the little man. It's a footpath - not a road at this point. The big barn shows up well in the aerial view.
I'm away until Weds so not ignoring any guesses.

Close to two rail lines, a river and a busy A road. Paper mill about 1.5km away

The oast in the background was a bakery at one time. Now residential. (That should help)

Not Ospringe Pete - come back east.
Not Pilgrim's Way JohnFilmer - try another 'Way'.

More East Kent. It's on the same long route as one of my fairly recent GTPs but in a different area.

Seems to be very few forges/blacksmiths in Kent now. I learned a lot of blacksmith work at school - really enjoyed it.
Next one ...
East Kent - This view can be seen on GSV but could be a stinker to find - clues will follow if nobody gets it straight away.

The forge was still working at the end of the sixties. The blacksmith was often still at work when we were in the Maypole and he would come over for a couple afterwards. I can’t remember his name, but quite a young man.

You have it JohnWalker.
Was the working village forge in my youth . Now is a hall available for hire run by a village community group.
