I think that is it. Hurst Green. Two photographs taken form opposite sides. The spiked globes clinch the deal.

So it looks as if she took the postcard with her ready to post as soon as she arrived! That fooled everyone.  ;D ;D

But we always gave our daughters a pre-written and stamped postcard when they went away, once
one of them remembered to post it.  ;D ;D

The Chief Reporter with The Eastbourne Herald has contacted me to say a gentleman recognised the photo as a landmark called The Stage. She says it was situated near Bodiam, people from Hurst Green and other local villages would visit it as you could see France from it.

The gentleman has offered to make all the information he has available and they have said they will post it to me. Should anyone like to see this I will take them up on their offer. Otherwise, I shall decline it.

Jo.
