I think it was a Barclays. Corner of High Street and Mill Street, Maidstone. Just by the gun.

Is it anything to do with a Bank?


Possibly the long gone Martins Bank.

Yes, it took a long time to find it on GSV because other buildings blocked the view.


I take it's my turn.


I recently visited this town on a treasure trail and this was a clue, but where is it?

It's amazing.  I went round that area on GSV and thought it would be easy to spot that chimney but no sign of it despite it's height.  Once Lutonman had made his guess I was able to locate it.

Yes the Eurolink Estate, Sittingbourne. Originally Sittingbourne Sewage Works, built around 1902.
My Granddad was the first engineer there.


Sometime in the 1960`s I went inside but all the machinery had been removed and what photos I took have long since disappeared


Here`s one of the pumps; photo from Granddad`s collection.

You`re so close, JohnW.


I think that this building MAY be visible from Murston.

The building is still in use, but not for the original purpose.
