Blimey Ken, I didn't think she was still around. If she's the same Lady Kitty, I think she used to be one of Crawley's water tank barges (though she might have been fuel oil at one time too). I remember her alongside vessels in the 1970s.
I've just remembered I have a photo here of her alongside Maersk Cutter
She's a nice old barge Ken. Seen her up and down often but never managed to get a picture.
The funnel markings look like those of T.J. Palmer of Gravesend to me.

Hi John,
Yes I think you could be right, Gravesend is probably her base.
