Talking of which... http://www.dover-kent.com/2014-project-b/Lord-Stanley-Upchurch.html (same image, mind!)
Overshore Cottages appear in the (zoomable) map in the link in post 3.
Cosmo Smallpiece:
Is this Lord Stanley pub in the rough area?

Cosmo Smallpiece:
It might be useful for someone to show on a map where definitively Overshore Cottages was?
The brick fields themselves are confusing enough. Eastwood's was the one north of Halstow? Funtons was further east again.
On old maps Falcon's Cement (Burge) is marked. There is a brick fields shown east next door and another marked south. There are two other brick fields either side of the Three Sisters pub. Were these four sites all Wakeley?
Nemo:
Mike, the reason I'm confused is that the Burge works closed in 1915 as you and t'other site say. On the other hand, Messrs Eastwood's site at Overshore was in operation in, say, 1894 (c.f. BNA) and carried on well into living memory. I guess they were simply next door as you say.
I notice that there was a White House at Overshore, home of Percy Betts who died in WW1.

Don't be confused leave that to me! Yes I have seen that site. Wakeley Brothers also had a brickfield next door.
Thanks
