It's a neo-classical brick country house

Not Maidstone Zoo or Doddington Place, but it is a house.

Can anyone make out what the banner says?


I think it says  COME BE ONE OF US  or something along those lines.  Salvation Army ?

If it's just after the first war it could be a Peace Day procession.

Spot on, John.
I can only assume that it`s the Ramsgate Town Band, as my Granddad once lived at the nearby Minster Laundry House where he was the engineer.


I wonder what the event was, Diapson?  I had realised it was Ramsgate but thought I would let others chime in.  I looked to see what event it may be.

It's a great photo Diapason.  There must be a lot of detail in the original.  It looks like it might have been a St George's Day parade with all the England flags in the background?


My grandfather was in an air force band and was based at Manston in WW2.  He played the Euphonium.


Next one coming up later.

Have crack at this one, Beachbum. I`m hoping that you have sorted posting your photos  - it`s taken me an hour to post this one as I couldn`t remove the caption.
I`ve reason to believe that you may know where this was taken.
My Granddad is on it at the bottom, dead centre playing the bass trombone.
I estimate the photo was taken just before or, most likely, just after WW1.


The extreme top left and right corners should give it away.

No problem, Beachbum.  The joy of technology.


In this case, I think we should cede to Diapson.


Diapson over to you.
