Anna Park, Birchington
The name of this road sounds rather more like a woman's name than a road name! It looks fairly new, but the Tudor style of the houses in the background begged me to think otherwise! Anyhow, it is lit by these modern simulations of Victorian lamp posts, which really add to the general ambience of the road and look great! View taken looking south-southeast.

An old Victorian-style lamp post in a front garden (yet again!)
What is it with Birchingtonians and having old lamp posts in their front gardens? Yet another house, this time on the driveway featured in
Image, has a Victorian lamp post in its front garden, but of a different kind. This one looks very similar to the modern replicas of such a design seen on many roads today, but I think this one probably originally ran a tungsten or GLS lamp instead of a modern one. I've posted onto a streetlight enthusiast's website to get it identified, and it is thought it was made by a company called Falks Beaufort.

Seashore near Birchington
Apart from a very small piece of track and this set of steps, this square is completely submerged at high tide.

Driveway off Grenham Road, Birchington
Whilst walking down Grenham Road, the castellated house down this driveway caught my attention.

Street light not lighting a street
A rather daftly placed streetlight here - it isn't lighting a street at all! Instead, each and every night it just simply lights grass! However, I do get the impression that there was a road here once and it has recently been overgrown and made into a driveway, and thus the streetlight probably dates before this happened and hasn't been removed by the council yet. The buildings over the fence on the left are part of the Birchington Bowling Club.

View of Westgate from Grenham Bay
West of Birchington and around a blind bend on the Thanet Coastal Path near Grenham Bay brings this excellent view of Westgate-on-Sea (just a mile or two to the east). The beach huts along the promenade are clearly visible, as are a number of houses, apartments and hotels. The photographer's location is just inside the bottom edge of the gridsquare looking east.
