Guess the Place
John Walker:
Too near the edge of Kent Beachbum.

Wild guess: Charles Court, Tunbridge Wells?
John Walker:
Very interesting one JohnFilmer and thank you for telling us about your family.

Another lost building. This is part of a large building. Now replaced by a Sheltered Housing Complex named after a king.

JW has it, the Chapel of St Mary Magdelene at Lidsing.
I found an interesting article with more pictures https://jamesweirhbcblog.wordpress.com/2014/07/10/the-lost-chapel-of-lidsing-kent/
My interest comes from my mother's grandfather who left his job in Chatham Dockyard, as an Anglesmith, after his wife died in 1903. He left Luton and took on The Harrow at Lidsing. My mother visited frequently, the family walking from Luton Road and back on a Sunday afternoon. She always pronounced the hamlet as Lidjin.
Walter Colyer went on to marry his Irish barmaid Catherine, 20years his junior, and kept the Harrow until his death in October 1921.
