The 'rare' comment is a bit tongue in cheek but will come clear when the place is guessed.


Not Watling street MartinR.


This 'A' road connects two coastal towns.


Not Cranbrook of Staplehurst DTT - you need to come east.

From the style of building, I would guess around Cranbrook or at a push Staplehurst, JW.
DTT

Is a "long A road" Watling Street?  If so I've a feeling there's some rare breeds or similar near the Broughton roundabout.

A village on a busy 'A' road that heads coastbound.

Thanks Grandarog  Great family post card.   It looks like a few architectural changes have taken place since the photo.  Now Miles and Barr, Dominos and the Smile Dental Centre.

Well that sort of implies either Milton Regis or Faversham, but I can't find a match in either place.
