Lairage Cottages are well served by buses from Canterbury and Hythe, via Folkestone, as there is a bus stop, with a shelter, almost ‘outside the door’, for passengers wishing to travel to Folkestone and Hythe and a stop on the opposite side of the road for those wishing to travel to Canterbury. The service runs every 15 minutes from just after 09:00 to 17:10 (to Folkestone and Hythe) and up to 18:30 from the Canterbury direction. After those times, the service is less frequent. This picture was taken looking across Canterbury Road (A260) on a exceptionally cold evening for mid-May. The dictionary meaning of ‘lairage’ is a place where cattle are housed.
