Yantlett?

Not Yantlett.  Never heard of that before, so had to look it up.  Something else I've learnt.

In the correct general area of Kent though.

Right, here we go again.

Where was this view taken from and what is the name of the waterway?

In lieu of location information, this is how it looks today:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.3223401,1.1948594,3a,26y,49.98h,91.06t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sQOzjYJ319Maq0HJBRl5HRg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m1!1e1?entry=ttu
The pub on the right and the house on the left are basically unchanged apart from the front door being blocked up and the rendering applied.  The rest of the street however ... !

Looks like Royal Oak on the signboard.  I'll take a guess at the one that was in Upstreet although the rest of the photo looks very different to today.

Lovely Postcard from early in the last Century. Sent to Mrs Marriot at Eastbourne. You can buy it for £9.99. :)

I will hold off for now.


Indeed it was, Rog.  😀😀
