Help with location of photo (long shot!)

[mijath]

Can anyone suggest where this photograph was taken?

My great grandfather was in the Royal Field Artillery (4th West Lancs Howitzer Brigade). I believe they were based in Liverpool and before embarking for France in 1915 spent time in Kent.

I don't recognise the place and I know the Liverpool area well.

Thank you

Sorry, had a look, but too difficult for me :-(

I think the architecture would fit with Kent. The building (shop?) on the right has a sign with a name ending -arham, if that means anything to anyone.

There is the village of Barham in Kent:

  I don't think it is Barham, but I can't see the sign mentioned by Arthur? I agree that the architecture could be Kent. I live in the Barham area, so could maybe help.

Sign.....

  I can see it now and it certainly seems to say -ARHAM. That could be the shop owner's name as it is also used as a surname.

I've been trying to make sense of the sign on the right that's half cut off. At the top it seems to have 'Fight For Freedom', and below I think I can make out '4th Batt[alion]' 'The Queen's...' - which might be the Queen's Royal Regiment (West Surrey).

So, is this a sign to show where they were billeted while passing through? Or is it a recruiting sign, in which case is the picture in their main recruiting area?

I very quickly get out of my depth in military matters, so can anyone else make anything useful of it?

  The location could equally well be Surrey from what little I know of architecture, especially the large, newish house in the background.
