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

Thanks John Walker. Like shoot999 they seemed familiar .Afraid I had to resort to Google to find the cottages location.
Any way next .Where is this very well refurbished door and brickwork.

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.
