Found it.  It's in Market Place, Charing.  Not sure of the name of the building though, but it's close to the church.

I have done a few GTP clues around there, including another part of the same building, so not a guess and I’ll pass.

Thanks John Walker. The top of the Bridge is a garden to the Home to the left on the embankment.

Next one for you..............

Horn Street Bridge in Seabrook, Hythe.

The former Southern Railway Line that never got through to Folkestone Harbour as two Land owners refused access.

Well done Beachbum - I think it's the only remaining complete bridge on that line.  The tunnel still exists near Sandling Station.

Over to you.

Wrong title by Bing.  It's definitely in Kent.  The bridge is named after the road that runs through it.  I've driven through it.

Thanks Lutonman.  I've passed that garden many times and never noticed the wood carving or knew it was a memorial garden.  Another interesting GTP that I have learned from.  It will mean more next time I pass it.

Yours John Walker, its known as Starvation point a memorial to those who lost their lives at sea. Was also a place where out of work seaman would congregate for work.
This was another clue on a Treasure trail I did.
