postcard identification

[eppy]

I have inherited an album of old postcards and I cannot identify where this one is.  It may be the Hertfordshire area possibly 1930s.I would be very grateful for any help.

Hi,

judging by the plant life, and the texture of the earth, I would say it is a seaside place - that course grass on the foot path, by the bike always grows in sand.

best wishes,

Hello Copperbeech 5

Thank you for your help.  I will bear that in mind,

An odd subject for a postcard. Looks more like a family snap. Early 30's is about right for the period judging by the dress of the pedestrian.

I wonder if that is the photographer's bike leaning up against the fence. I like this - it's a very ordinary scene, and an ordinary slice of life.

Good evening,

Shame the chapel didn't think to put a notice board or sign at this end where we could see it. But then that would make life too simple and take away half the fun of the chase.

I'd agree with Copperbeech5's seaside location, and wonder if the house on the left is a hotel or guesthouse, with a flagpole/mast out the front and what looks suspiciously like a pub sign under middle window.

The right hand side of the photograph has quite a lot of writing, including some at a Shell garage. Perhaps someone on this site would know where it was:

The house on the left seems to have a curved metalwork arch with lettering on it, at the entrance to the driveway.
