They were subsequently very kindly identified for us as White Ramping-Fumitory (we had previously wondered if they might be Common Ramping-Fumitory) viz.
Subsequent to our first seeing them when they flowered very prettily, the Council Strimmers razed them and almost everything else to the ground (pretty much par for the course here); however they managed to grow back again.
The sighting was reported to the Kent Botanical Recording Group (KBRG).
According to the KBRG's Publication, Kent Botany 2015, although White Ramping-Fumitory (Fumaria capreolata) is mainly found in Vice County 15 (East Kent), there were at least two sightings of the Plant during 2015 in Vice County 16 (West Kent). Ours and the other sighting which involved a Plant growing by a Bridge over the M25 Motorway in the Strood area.

Update: during a Walk earlier today, much to our surprise and delight, especially with it being Dreary and Chilly (a really Cold Wind), we found some lovely fresh looking flowers viz.
Yippee ...
