"Scindia House"
« on: Yesterday at 19:16 »
I have an  old iron sign which reads "Scindia House".
It was found on a beach in Folkestone Warren where I understand debris from World War 2 bomb damage was bulldozed and tipped.
A bit of a long shot but I wondered if anyone has heard of Scindia House as I think it must be a house name.

Not in Kent but there was a house called 'Scindia' in Orchid Crescent, Billericay at the beginning of WW2

In 1921

Scindia, North Road, Llanbeblig, Caernarvonshire, Wales

Many many mentions in newspapers of a commercial building in New Delhi named Scindia House.

I don't know if it is an alternative to Scinde House.

There are some of that name, nearest to Kent being in Clapham. Seems to relate to the military, including a Scinde Medal and Scinde Horse regiment.

There are some people born in Scinde, India, on the Kent censuses, including four in Folkestone or Dover.
