Grrrr, I'd been up and down that road looking for a square building behind one with a ventilation turret.  It didn't dawn on me that the oast was attached to the main building but separately roofed!
Well done Lutonman.

Assuming that Maidstone is classed as a Medway Town - Moat Park area?

Err, is that "not far from Medway" (the place) or "not far from the River Medway"?

That looks like a square oast behind the foreground building with the ventilation turret.  Would we be near Beltring?

Thanks johnfilmer I trawled up and down the Medway for ages until you said downstream from Wateringbury.
Try this one next.
Where would you have been to spot this roofline.

The photo rang a bell as soon as I saw it.  The penny dropped but I decided to hold fire, as I've put a few up lately.  I went over the bridge a number of times in the late 60s while repairing Imperial Automatic Washing Machines on a freelance basis.  I covered Kent, South London, and Sussex in my minivan.
Later, I crossed the bridge to support our daughter who was doing a charity bungee jump outside the Bull Inn pub at the top of the hill.  Later, I crossed it again to attend a nephew's baptism in the Parish Church at the top of the hill.  I don't remember noticing the row of huts though.
