Description

Tinted postcard of Eddington, Herne Bay, Kent, England. Postmarked "Herne Bay, Au 2, 07". The picture shows the original village or hamlet long before the area became a suburb of Herne Bay. Publisher: Milton's Gazette series. Most of the buildings in the photo still exist. The site is on the east side of the Canterbury Road (A299), just north of Priory House at the southern end of Eddington.

Points of interest: The house in the foreground is in the Kentish vernacular style with limewashed weatherboarding, but the taller houses are late Victorian. There is no footpath. There is a working woman in white apron in a doorway, a woman standing in the street, and a person in the garden behind the white picket gate. Further along the street is a cart. Note the striped, yellow window blinds on the Victorian house. The orange-red roofs of the buildings in the foreground are pan-tiled. The site is the Canterbury Road, looking north.
