Guess the Place

[grandarog]

This road is in a very historic Village with a Saxon name and a 13 Century Church that replaced an earlier one.

John Walker,     Not a level crossing ,anti skid is found at a lot of junctions etc.
Luton man,       Sorry not Sundridge ,,,  it's East Kent TN Postcode .

[Lutonman]

Sundridge?

[John Walker]

I presume the anti-skid road surface is relevant?  Leading up to a level crossing?

[grandarog]

Drivers that watch the road should soon get this one.
TN postcode.

East Kent

A mid-Kent village?

Is the building facing out to sea?

[MartinR]

Beachbum - is your photo a hospital?

[MartinR]

Thankyou all for your kind words.  I'm currently working on a pamphlet/small book (50 pages and counting) which will include the whole Foord family.  If you can bear with me for a while I can publish the Foord section here in due course.

[Beachbum]

Thank you MartinR. A very interesting family History indeed. Like stuartwaters suggested, if you have time? There are so many projects linked to this family, perhaps a different thread to work through them?

[John Walker]

Thanks MartinR.  I didn't know anything about the Foord Almshouses and their history prior to your article.  It's amazing how people used to give such large sums of money to charity in the past.  I get the impression that people with money these days keep it to themselves - although I guess there are exceptions.
