Guess the Place

[CAT]

As far as I’m aware this village is beyond the scope of the Kent coal as it’s a to the south and southwest of Northbourne JohnWalker.


The Saintly connection is not St Augustine, but a slightly less venerated Kentish saint DaveTheTrain.

[John Walker]

Northbourne area?

[DaveTheTrain]

Is the saintly connection, Saint Augustine?

[John Walker]

Did there used to be a coal mine beyond the house on the right?  The house looks familiar from another photo which had something to do with a mine beyond the house.

Too true JohnWalker, plenty of the bus routes are rural, but this one is renowned for the area. It’s not the Canterbury-Whitstable-Herne Bay route, though a distant route from Canterbury to the coast can be returned on another long route back. This village has a strong Kentish saintly association.

[John Walker]

On the Triangle bus route. Canterbury, Herne Bay, Whitstable?

I've seen this picture before - darned if I can remember where though.....

I have to say CAT that “frequent rural bus route” is an oxymoron around here

Many thanks gradarog. Ironic your pic occurring when it did as I was walking around the lighthouse only a week or so earlier.


Here is my next vintage village scene, which might not last too long as its along a frequent rural bus route, but where....?

[grandarog]

You have it Cat. I said it wouldn't last long.
 Makes up for pipping you on the last one.
Over to you.

[CAT]

One of the Foreland lighthouses, probably South?

[John Walker]

Lighthouse?

[grandarog]

Thanks Beachbum. Certainly an impressive building.
Next is an old pic from early 1900's.
Shouldn't take long to find.
