The two villages of Stansted and Fairseat are perched on the edge of the North Downs in Kent, less than a mile apart. This beautiful area has been my home since 2001 and as an ardent photographer I find I have amassed quite a collection of photographs of the countryside and local events. I also fitfully research historical photographs and writings on the 2 villages and surrounding area. I hope you enjoy my findings.

Old postcard of the War Memorial, Stansted
Back in 2014 I posted another postcard of the war memorial, and it looks like this one was taken at the same time but here you can see more of the hill opposite and surrounding area. Because of the stamp cost, it was probably sent between 1922 - 1940. I wonder who Claire and Bernard were, and their Aunty in Norfolk, Miss Disdale? All these simple little communications now lost to instant text messaging which makes me a little sad.
