Clue 1.
 There is a very strong Battle of Britain connection where this building stands.

Well done Beachbum,that took some finding. When I did inundated with info on the web.
Lets hope this one is easier. Where did I see this Gable End..

[Beachbum]

FYI - The Original Sound Mirror

[Beachbum]

Well done grandarog, it is one of the Joss Bay sound mirrors.

One was carved into the Cliff and concrete faced, the other was a seperate structure.

By 1921 they were removed and the Technology moved down the Coast.

Platform to do with the Sound Mirrors at Joss Bay. Phoyo Andrew_Grantham.

"However, in 1918 the area became home to a research station that conducted a secret programme of acoustic trials under the guidance of Major Wiliam Sansome Tucker, an imaginative and ambitious advocate of sound as a military resource and tool of defence. Just north of the beach huts a station HQ would soon appear, resembling little more than a shed adorned with sandbags. The nearby cliffs would provide a well orientated catchment area for sound sources originating near northern France, and the stage would be set for a series of sonic experiments that ranged from the innovative to bizarre.

Military indeed JW. There were 2 structures over 'hear' 

[John Walker]

Am I correct in thinking it is a military construction (going by the men in the photo) ?

[Beachbum]

revisit one of your earlier suggestions JW

[John Walker]

A beachside connection to 'Redcourt' on top of the cliff?

[Beachbum]

Right location JW, different structure

[John Walker]

There's an opening in the cliff face near Joss Bay.  Could it be The Joss Bay Coastal Battery?

[Beachbum]

No, but the Castle could be seen from the structure

[John Walker]

Anything to do with Kingsgate Castle?
