Gotcha! That odd angled upper elevation is quite distinctive.

But I’ve only just been, so someone else can find it.

Although much has changed on the frontage, the angled elevation is still there on GSV.

Clue:  Village

It is a building style that is common in Whitstable and Herne Bay.

Right end of the county.  Keep heading roughly ESE.

Where is this post office?  Can be seen on GSV. The frontage is much changed (but not for the better).

Thanks Stewie   I wasn't sure as it looked bigger than the ones I walked past in Folkestone.  I realise now that it's a mirror the camera is pointing at making it look much larger.  Folkestone Harbour Arm is well worth a visit, preferably on a sunny day and at a weekend when all the restaurants are open.  It's quite an atmosphere and plenty of history.

Next one up shortly.

Yes you are correct JohnWalker the restaurant is called  'Shesells Seashells' and this can be seen engraved in the mirror, presumably what grandarog was referring to? I was aware of this but wondered if anyone would make the connection. Mrs Stewie and myself enjoyed a bowl of 'moules mariniere' on Folkstone harbour arm in the late afternoon sunshine after walking around the harbour.
Over to you JohnWalker.

There's a resturant/wine bar in converted goods wagons on Folkestone Harbour Arm but not sure if this is it.

Is it actually at Chapel Down, or merely somewhere that serves expensive wines?

Unfortunately your photo gives the place and location. Try another one.

Thanks Johnfilmer,

Mrs Stewie and myself had a day out last year and a bite off something to eat. So where was we when we were making our menu choices?

I’ve reread the replies now that I’m not eating my dinner at the same time.

The correct answer is Eastchurch Station, which I now acknowledge Stewie as mentioning, so therefore he is the winner.

The map left edge is actually the edge of that map page. The next map page has the structure in 1906….
