caption_attribution_description: Sepia postcard of Eddington, Herne Bay, Kent, England. Postmarked "London W., 2pm, 5 Oct 14A". The picture shows the original village or hamlet long before the area became a suburb of Herne Bay. Most of the buildings in the photo still exist. The site is on the east side of the Canterbury Road (A299), just north of Priory House at the southern end of Eddington. Points of interest: The house in the foreground is in the Kentish vernacular style with whitewashed weatherboarding and Georgian window frames, but the taller houses are late Victorian. Farmland can be seen beyond the buildings. There is no footpath. This site is now the Canterbury Road, looking north.
context_page_description: Eddington was a village in Kent, South East England to the south-east of Herne Bay, to the west of Beltinge and to the north of Herne. It is now a suburb of Herne Bay, in Greenhill and Eddington Ward, one of the five wards of Herne Bay. Its main landmark for over 100 years until 2010 was Herne Bay Court, a former school which once possessed one of the largest and best-equipped school engineering workshops in England; it later became a Christian conference centre.
