Not for me John, I was only filling the gap. You got the location, so you have it.

A thorough explanation stuartwaters and totally correct, thought the Napoleonic war would have sufficed. As John Walker got the initial location it should go to him, but I'll let you resolve it between you both?

March of 1802 was when the Treaty of Amiens was signed, ending the French Revolutionary War and heralding the start of a 14-month period of peace known as the Peace of Amiens. This would have impacted towns along the Kent Coast because open trade across the Channel would have restarted after nine years of war. Vessels carrying cargoes and people across the English Channel would have been able to do so without fear of being seized by privateers or Naval forces.
Sadly, it was all to end when what is commonly known as the Napoleonic War broke out in May of 1803. The situation was exacerbated by the Orders in Council in 1807, themselves the British retaliation to a French embargo, which led to an explosion in smuggling all along the south coast, in which fortunes were made by those involved in it.

Would late March (say 25 or 27 according to different sources) be a time for a quick trip to North France?

Not too difficult, and not specific to the town, though it greatly impacted the town of Hythe. Think of what's going on nationally with regards our European neighbours, especially along the Kent coast?

Many thanks Local Hiker, I shall remember that for next time.
You are correct John Walker, but why is the date of its modification significant to the town and the Kent coast?

You can remove or replace posted images and edit the text on existing posts using the "modify" option.
So, you could remove the image with properties and replace it with a copy after removing the properties.

Your coastal clue made me think of Sandwich but not many roads there have house numbers to 150 - so then I turned to Hythe -

Many thanks for that Local Hiker, I was in a rush to get this up so forgot to remove the data. Unfortunately, now it's posted I can't change it, so if others know how to trace the Long/Lat then it should be easy?

CAT, you have left the lat long in the file properties.
In Windows, to remove properties, right click on file, select "properties", and save a copy with properties removed.
Sorry if I am teaching you to suck eggs, but others may not know how to.

Again, sorry for the delay.
Here is my next. The date of 1802 is fairly significant to the building as well as the place this building is in
