Thanks BB.  Nice documents there.  My mother worked for Vyes in Rochester.

Well done DTT, it is Truro Court Hotel.

The Bonus point would be for Chylton Lodge (see plan).

The previous Truro Lodge was purchased by the Vye Famiy the day before Auction in 1907.

I remember the whole Site being sold on as a Investment Building Plot, eventually being to expensive to develope. Eventually being de-valued and Homefleet House sheltered housing built.

A nice local one for me.  Wellington Crescent, Ramsgate.  For the bonus point, the Truro Court Hotel.  And for another point, a mystery tunnel thrown in for good measure!  :)

Bonus points if you can name the property that was previously next door?

Thanks John Walker, I was lost before that final clue.

Next one has a different building now, but the same to the side........

Well done Beachbum.  (And JohnFilmer for finding it but holding back)

The demolished special school opposite was The School for Deaf Children.

Thanks for the Clue John Walker, it's Emmanuel Church, Victoria Road, Margate. Zion Cemetery next to it.

A special school nearby was closed and demolished in recent years.  (That should help)
