IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Sandles Road, BIRCHINGTON, CT7 9SU

On triangular junction of Station Approach (on right) and Minis Road (on left). Sandle's Road (unseen behind pub), completes the triangle.

This rather beautiful flowerbed can be found at the centre of the triangular junction of Alpha Road, Minnis Road and Station Road. There's quite a rich variety of flowers here - mostly geraniums and marigolds, but there also looks to be some violets and some sort of grass-like plant similar to a yukka. Apologies for the slightly cut-off view on the right, but there is a lamp-post right by the flowerbed, which is really in the way! View looking west-southwest towards Minnis Road.

This is a zoom out of the flowerbed shown in Image, showing its geographical location - it is the one by the lamp post in the centre. As you can see, there is another flowerbed just in front of it, but the variety of plants isn't so interesting, hence why I chose to just picture the former. Station Road crosses the image diagonally, passing by the village shops behind me and passing over the railway at Birchington station just beyond the parade of shops at the extreme right of the photo, whilst Minnis Road is the road leading off into the distance down to Minnis Bay. Alpha Road, meanwhile, runs just behind me and finishes at the flowerbeds, running down to Epple Road just outside Epple Bay. View taken looking west-southwest.

This obelisk can be found on the green area at the rear of Christie's wine bar at the station end of Station Road, just opposite and slightly south-east of the station. It was erected, according to its plaque, in April 1994 and is more or less parallel with my other photo in TR3069, the distance between them being only around half a mile. It is located near the bottom-right hand corner of the square, whilst the grave nearly touches the 69 line in the bottom-left hand corner of square TR3069.

Now here's a view that's pretty rare these days! There is an ice cream parlour situated at the junction between Minnis Road and Surrey Gardens on the right hand side of the gridsquare! It certainly has a very extensive menu indeed! I myself have only been in here once for a knickerbocker glory, but I remember that it was quite delicious!

Opened in 1863 by the Kent Coast Railway on its line from Faversham to Ramsgate Harbour. View east towards Margate and Ramsgate.

This is a north-westerly view of Birchington Station, taken from just behind the obelisk of Dante Gabriel Rossetti. You can just see the footbridge spanning the platforms to the left of the station building.

The train to London St. Pancras is arriving. The road bridge links Station Approach and Lyell Road and the footbridge links the two platforms.
