Not the hover port. A couple of clues in the pic to what it might be.

Thank you KeithG. I used to walk that road regularly to and fro the Dockyard in the 60s and early 70s, but couldn't quite place them. For some reason, thought they were more Brompton way. Haven't been that way for 40 years, so was surprised how different everything looks today on google street view.


Getting a bit low on good  pics; but here's the next one.

Yes, you have that one shoot999...


It was part of Kitchener Barracks the Royal Marines lived in the quarters known as the Lower Barracks having no more room down over Gun Wharf opposite side of the road.


Picture is now and you can see they left the curved wall standing?

When i was 8yrs in 1956 i used to see the Royal Marines on their Parade Ground ( Medway Council Offices ) in all their kit with white helmets from the top deck of a bus.

Also my Uncle was a resident Plumber who lived in a flat down on the Gun Wharf Grand Store during the 50`s we used to visit quite often with a superb view of the river from the top windows.


Over to You....

Opps. Tried to amend my last . but deleted it!  Is it the old Kitchener Barracks that looked down on Dock Road, with the statue being of Lord Kitchener?  IIRC these were called the Lower Barracks.

They were Military living quarters.


Not Brompton Barracks / Royal Engineers.
