Victorian gas lantern in a front garden on Cross Road
Birchingtonians seem to love having Victorian gas lanterns in their front gardens - this is one of three houses I've seen which have them. This is on Cross Road in Epple Bay - I just hope the owners don't mind me putting this on here!

Another gas lantern in a front garden!
This house on Coleman's Stairs Road is another one to have a gas lantern in its front garden! Although, as you can see, it has an ordinary light bulb fitted instead of the original gas filament. Coincidentally, this is just around the corner from the previous installation (shown in
Image) and was also taken looking northeast.

Victorian gas lantern, this time on a private road
Coleman's Stairs Road after the ramp down to the sea front is privately owned and so is lit with these Victorian gas lanterns (or modern replicas), albeit with modern light bulbs rather than gas filaments fitted and mounted on plain modern columns rather than those with ladder bars specially designed for gas lanterns. View taken looking east-southeast.

Promenade, Birchington
This appears to have been built more as a sea defence against cliff erosion than a seaside pleasure feature. It is a long way down to the sea or shore depending on the tide, with very few ways up again if you are unfortunate enough to fall over or get trapped by the tide. Chalk above and chalk below.

Beacon at Epple Bay
Seen from the cliff top near Birchington, Epple Bay is this side of the headland ahead. A path drops down from the road to the sea wall in the gully immediately beyond the grass on the right. The beacon was erected by the Parish Council of Birchington-on-Sea to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II on 4th June 2012.
