Guess the Place

[MartinR]

Hop pickers' huts somewhere?  There look to be oasts in the distance.

Are the Union Flags significant?  Scout camp?

I've defaulted to a Google screenshot.
Where is this row of huts? There are excellent clues in the picture, that I left in. There are quite a few images from many dates of this view, so you get the sense that its a busy road.

Broadstairs, St Peters Park Road, I think GSV gives a glimpse of 28 on the left hand side.

You have it JohnFilmer.  Thanks for the location data MartinR and other info Beachbum.

From what I have found so far, it has had many uses since the 1950s when one of them was a sweetshop but I can't find anything further back than that.  This building looks quite interesting so I guess there is more of a history than I have found.


Over to you JohnFilmer

So this is indeed number 26 and 28.From a distant memory, 28 was a Tobacconist and 26 possibly a Barbers?Behind was a Railway fed coal depot with sidings.

I'm sure there would be a good view of the station platform from the back windows.

Sea not far away

[John Walker]

Very close to a station and not far from a rugby club ground.

I will hold back on this one 

That could be a clue as well 

[Beachbum]

I will hold back on this one 

[John Walker]

It is, JW well done as the side view is not so obvious, the road runs past the front.


Built about 1908, baptism was performed there, most of which were recorded as being born at Gill House rather than the Union Workhouse. I didn’t use that as a clue as Google took you straight to the right answer.


Over to you...

Thank you JohnFilmer,  It threw me at first as the frontage is of a stone finish.  I've driven past it numerous times over the years.

Next one folks ...   East of the county
