Chilham, Post Office 1913
Photo ref:

More about this scene
Both horse and cart and motor car are parked outside Wealden Hall House; at the time of the photograph it was trading as the Post Office, and advertising itself as selling 'Drapery, Outfitting, Grocery and Provisions.' The newspaper headline by the parked car reads 'Air Passenger Service in England.' This could, of course, refer to a service by airship, as heavier-than-air aeroplanes were still in their extreme infancy at this time. Hidden in the trees is the entrance to Chilham Castle, originally Norman. It is said to be haunted by a ghostly grey lady.
