I reckon that it`s the tower of St. Mary`s, Upchurch. It`s a bit more than a guess as I recognised your location from the `old` forum, plus the fact that I have driven past the church many times and. with the help of a lady who lived opposite who gave me access to the church, I took some photos of the interior.

Thanks KeithG,
Nice to have you back on the scene.
Feeling a bit guilty as I used Google to solve your Picture.
Try this one ,where did I photograph this HorseChestnut at 10 o'clock on a Sunny June morning.

Yes..... Stuartwaters and grandarog both have the use correct but grandarog has all the correct info.


So grandarog it is...... A good read is that website for the
RCYC old as the hills.


There are other postcards but this the least common

I have no idea where it is, but at a guess, I'd say it was the club-house for a yacht or boating club?

Not Herne Bay either.
The post with a long arm on the right side of the photo might help.

Not Canterbury. It's a seaside town.

Could it be Canterbury High Street, before it was bombed out.
