Does the pub on the right still exist?


No it doesn't John.  And as we have recently been informed, the next one built in that location doesn't exist either.  :)

Chapel Down Vineyard Small Hythe Road Tenterden? Shipbuilding clue Smallhythe?


Spot on Shoot999.  Hard to imagine shipbuilding went on there when you drive through the silted up area now.  Chapel Down Vineyard is just up the road from here.


Over to you ...

is it the Elham Valley Vineyard?


Not that one Grandarog.  Active railway line about 1km away and a town about 2km away.  Ships used to be built near here.

There is a clue...


Near an A road, a railway, a river?


That wasn't the clue.  the clue is in the photo.     However. A small tributary of a named river and a railway line are about 1km away.  On a 'B' road.
