I have to say CAT that “frequent rural bus route” is an oxymoron around here

Many thanks gradarog. Ironic your pic occurring when it did as I was walking around the lighthouse only a week or so earlier.
Here is my next vintage village scene, which might not last too long as its along a frequent rural bus route, but where....?

You have it Cat. I said it wouldn't last long.
Makes up for pipping you on the last one.

Thanks Beachbum. Certainly an impressive building.
Next is an old pic from early 1900's.
Shouldn't take long to find.

Well done grandarog, it is indeed the current Pegwell Bay Hotel.
It was: The Passmore Edwards Working Mens Union Convalesent Home until 1969. It was then converted to a Hotel and remains open now.

You could well be correct grandarog. I was nearly there myself, but 'pipped at the post'

I think that is the Tower on the old Pegwell Bay ,Ramsgate ,Convalescent Home. I may be wrong.
I don't know if it is still there ,I only found it by searching Frith's old Postcards.
