I can see your thinking CAT as the clues do fit - but it's not there.

Clue: 1970 is significant.

Is it the remains of the former repair 'shed' of the Canterbury Motor Company on Rhodaus Town, Canterbury. This was formerly an agricultural hall before being part converted into a car production company (c.1903) and a roller skating rink (Canterbury Olympia Roller-Skating Rink) in its later years before becoming a car repair workshop again until its closure and demolition for student accomodation?

Not there Stewie.  Further east and much smaller wheels.  Used to operate in sets of eight within this building.

Not Sittingbourne Diapason.    Head in an easterly direction.  (This structure no longer exists but later clues will help)

Thanks LocalHiker.   Something rang a bell when I saw that but it took a while before I worked out where it might be.

Next one folks ...

Thanks Local Hiker.  I must have driven past so often and didn't know the park was there.  It's now on my list of places to visit when the weather is a little warmer!

It is John Walker.
There are lovely views over the Weald from the country park off the A249 at the top of Detling Hill. The remains of the castle are down the hill a little, towards the Black Horse pub in Thurnham
