I can see the school I went to in 1951 in the far distance: Godwin Girls College, now Godwin Court appartments, which was very isolated in those days. There were none of the buildings around it that now exist. The land was open up to Kingsgate Castle, with no trees or bushes along the coast. There was no footpath, as far as I remember, along the coast towards Kingsgate Castle. During the summer, we went swimming every day in the cold sea at high tide.
