John Walker, thanks.
The filter to "age" your photo is quite effective.
I wondered about the cape; it did not look like a normal dog coat.

I have a change of tack now.
I had a fun day back in 2016. Where was I? I was completely amazed. I did not know the place existed a few days before, and I am quite a train buff.

You have it Local hiker - Quex House


My sister and Brother in Law - 1940s re-enactors.  The cape on the dog is to carry water bottles if they find someone trapped.


Over to you  :)

Says "Taken at Quex House near Birchington Kent." on the link, 20th May 2013. What is the dog wearing?

Yes, that's my photo Local Hiker - one of my 6000+ images with Alamy under my Bax Walker Images pseudonym.  I was covering a 1940s event.  :)


But where was it taken?

East or West Kent? Still a private country house?

All heading in the right direction.  He would have been a doctor with his rescue dog.  The dog would locate trapped people after an air raid.  The lady is a Nanny.


A country house but not too far out into the countryside.  It still exists.

The Pramulater is of wartime vintage, the field gun between the two, puzzles me !
I thought it may have been ` Canada House ` before that. ( doctor & pram )

He may have been a part time `Warden `.

You don't think that he was a member of the "White Helmets" motorbike display team then? ::)

Is the gent a doctor (judging by his bag) and probably during WWII as he is carrying a white painted tin hat?

Not for me John, I was only filling the gap. You got the location, so you have it.
