Thank you for sharing such an amazing little place with us. I think this deserves a visit from me at the earliest possible opportunity

Thank you for these stunning photos and also a tour of this most beautiful place. To be honest as a life long East Londoner I dont know if I would be totally happy living in such sedate surroundings.
I am always remined of the experience of my parents who moved away from the hustle and bustle of Stoke Newington after my father retired in 1981. Looking back I think they would have have been much happier to continue to live in the place where they lived all their lives and knew people in the local streets to stop and have a chat with .

Sandwich had never been on my list of must see places, but it is NOW!

Wonderful 16th demon . Very interesting village. The England tourists don’t know. As usual, thank you, dear G.A.

Ah, my beloved Sandwich where I spent most of my childhoo! I could have been your guide to those twisting alleywas by the age of seven – kids were allowed out to play then, and we roamed the streets and green spaces every day. It really hasn’t changed much since the 1950s and when I occasionally revisit, I can instantly find my way round and recognise landmarks. The ‘Lutyens house’ was ‘The Salutation’, owned by Lord and Lady Byng, and we would be invited to posh birthday parties and garden fetes.

Simply delightful. Sandwich has vaguely been on my list of places in Kent to visit, but now along with Gravesend (courtesy of the blog earlier this week) they will both be priority destinations and visited soon. Very effective mix of colour and black and white photographs. Thank you for sharing these day trips.

Once again I can only say how very much I appreciate your eye-opening postings! When I lived in the South of England Sandwich never made it to the list of places to be visited and a visit is now far too late for me to contemplate, so your post provides can irreplaceable glimpse. Would that it were not so!

Thank you for visiting my lovely home town. I am so lucky to live here. It is a place, as you say, full of paradoxes, not least its proximity to some very different coastal towns like Ramsgate, Broadstairs and Margate. We are a strange outpost here, full of posh golfers in the summer!
