Sooper Question..... they are not gate lodges... they may of been Estate lodges right back in the day but no reading i have found to prove?
One was said to have been Joe Gargery's blacksmiths house but it is fake news as that was supposed to be back at Forge Lane, Chalk?

If there are two similar, and close by one another, are they estate cottages, or gate lodges?

North East of the A2
North of the M2


There are actually two of these very similar cottages until altered but still could be recognised as a pair?

From Aditnow wbsite
 "Ragstone mine for building stone. Some dispute that the rock is ragstone this far west, but it is in the same beds as the ragstone extracted around Maidstone further east. Probably 19th century. Six or seven separate series identified. The more northern ones are gated. The other minor ones are sealed.[/size]Level open but grilled as bat hibernaculum"[/color]

Yes!  Well done Keith.  The settlement is of course Westerham and the stone is Kentish ragstone.  Over to you :)
