Is that the old garage on the 'top road' A2 opposite where Tesco is now?  Rainham Mark.  Next to the old Belisha Beacon.

Tidal or non-tidal Medway?  Are those distinctive oriel windows still visible?

Thanks Martin R, I only hazarded a guess based on the amount of the information supplied in the guesses.
As always I am not here for a long haul round so here is an easy one perhaps creating an opportunity for someone who rarely gets a go.

Ahh! .... Missed this one as i was concentrating on your interest in bells?
Those steps were at one time within a space with a door on and erring Monks were put behind it to give them time for their penance and reflect their sins.
There are so many different additions/alterations to that Cathedral over time.

That's good enough Stewie.  It is the original entrance to the crypt which was bricked up as part of either the 1751 work or else the Cottingham work of 75 years later.  The top of the stair is visible in the quire transept, quite handy for suggesting people look in there! :)   In the crypt the entrance was behind shelving in a store room.  When they cleared the store room (as part of the investigation into the external Norman staircase under the Kent Stairs) they found a passageway and the steps leading up to a brick wall.  Probably not been seen for the best part of a couple of centuries!
Anyhow, over to you Stewie.
