You have it JohnWalker.
My Mother went to school there 1907 -1916. At the same time, she was pot washing for her eldest sister Annie (Nance) and her husband Arthur Fill who were the licensees of the Woolpack ,Chilham.Mums sister Kate was living with them as a skivvy .Uncle  Arthur was a lovely gentle man Aunt Nance was a proper old battleaxe and tyrant. She would have made the deep south plantation bosses look like pussie's
They ran a boarding house at Broadstairs for years after the Woolpack.

Sorry johnfilmer you were muttering too long. JW beat you to it.

St Mary's Primary School, Chilham.  I should have found that quicker, I took a photo of the building a few years ago!

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.
