On returning to visit Appledore over the years, not a lot has changed. There are a few new houses but mostly it is the same.

Hythe, Romney Marsh and Ashford Photographic Memories
Smart dress and good behaviour are to be seen here in front of the picturesque Clock House Pavilion. And there are no skateboards or litter in this park scene from a more orderly age.
