Struggling with this one, although it seems familiar.    A Whitstable school ?

You have it Grandarog.


It reads that they were fishermen's cottages.  Possibly Oyster or Mussel.


Over to you.

I think you might be right grandarog. If correct then the road along in front of them was called Hernecliff Gardens?


I knew I had seen them before, so assumed it was my home town. But when grandarog identified them I realised that  I knew them from my interest in another subject. Edmund Reid; the first CID Officer in charge of the Jack the Ripper investigation, moved into one of the cottages in 1903.

With a bit of Google research the cottages appear to have been in the  Village of Hampton on Sea at Herne Bay.Apparently it became Sunken Hampton Under Sea in 1921 when erosion sunk the lot.

John. As these cottages could be anywhere in Kent, I'll start the ball rolling with the question; N.,S.,E.,W. or Central?


East Dave.


A tramway, a pub and a stream were the other side of these cottages.
The cottages no longer exist.

For anyone planning to visit the site, be aware that it catches every breath of wind, ie it's cold!  The path up to the site is fine for mobility scooters, but manual wheelchairs might find it steep.  On the site there is limited access from the main path, but if the weather is good and the ground dry it is fairly flat and you can trundle around.  Be aware of rabbit holes, I got a wheel stuck down one and it just span uselessly!  disabled parking is right by the entrance to the car park and IIRC is free for blue badge holders.
