MartinR - It is tucked away a bit and at the end of a lane that's not covered by Google.  the only view I could find was from the A260 as you leave Denton heading for Folkestone.

Not the A20 but this A road does meet up with the A20 on its way to the coast.

Can be seen in the middle distance on GSV along a fairly busy 'A'road that heads to the coast.

Interesting info about the Waterloo Tower.  I've been to Quex and the amazing museum but have never seen the tower.  The sound of the bells must be incredible.

Here's the next one.  East half of the county.
