Ah thanks Still_looking for letting me know you are still looking!!!  I will continue to do so too.

Still Looking Rhodo - but I am taking a side trip to the lovely coast of Kent

Who would have a tower and why?

One reason would be a hobby such as astronomy or bird watching

Another reason may be for a water tank

I think they were mainly just the fashion in areas with good views

Hope you enjoy your little side trip around Kent!  I'll look elsewhere in case I bump into you :-)

Wondering whether to give up on the Walmer house.

Found this one, advertised in 1923 - it has a tower of sorts, and I think on one of the postcards DG found you can just see this tower peeping out from behind a clump of trees.

I must commend you on your sticking power Yorkslass.  You really are doing a tremendous job searching through all those old newspapers.

I've just come in  on this and am getting lost. Is the general feeling that the original house on this thread is St Mildred's in Walmer? If so, why? I may well have missed something.
St Mildred's no longer stands but has been replaced by the predictable estate of 60's boxes standing just behind St Mary's church when viewed from the Glen. It's a small cul-de-sac and I've never seen a picture of it - is the one posted by Yorklass reckoned to be it? I think it could well be but is standard construction for a lot of late Victorian houses with its tower at the corner.

No, St Mildred's was just a possibility. Without a photo we can't tell. If the newspaper photo is St Mildred's then it definitely isn't Cazza's house.

As Stilllooking said we're still looking.
