The Medway Valley Line from Castle Road
The Medway Valley Line was built in two stages by the South Eastern Railway. The first stage opened in 1844 was from Paddock Wood following the Medway Valley to Maidstone. In 1856 the line was extended up the Medway Valley to the North Kent Line at Strood (which had opened in 1847).
This view is of the 1856 section between Maidstone Barracks and Aylesford, looking in the direction of the latter. The siding and shed on the left belongs, I assume, to Allington Business Park. The view is from the bridge carrying Castle Road over the line.

The gatehouse to Allington Castle
Allington Castle dates from the 13th century when Stephen de Penchester and his wife were granted a licence to embattle their manor house at Allington. Much of it was ruined by the early 20th century and by 1929 it had been rebuilt. In 1951 Allington Castle was bought by the Carmelites. This is the gatehouse on Castle Road. It also looks very much restored.
