Parsonage Road, Eddington and its history
Image: © D Gore Taken: Unknown
This is looking east along the road which is still little more than the farm track it was a century ago when the land around was part of Parsonage Farm. That was before Herne Bay was built and when the farm consisted of a patchwork of fields between the old Herne village Image and the sea shore. Back then, the great Parsonage Farmhouse and its buildings stood immediately to the right of the picture beside this road/track which leads, as it still does today, to one of the farm's surviving fields Image See Gallery at: http://www.geograph.org.uk/gallery/trail_of_a_kentish_farming_family_9094 (background family story http://books.google.com/books?id=hrpS_YQ9FoAC&printsec=frontcover&dq=On+Kentish+Chalk )
