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 Brattle Place, AKA The Hilltop, Stansted
All my recent findings seem to be old postcards found on Ebay, and here is another! Quite interesting, as I've never seen it before.
I had to look up Brattle Place, and it is what The Hilltop used to be called.
Have also never seen a picture of the Post Office with the white criss cross fence in front of it.
Doesn't have a date, but the postcard took a 1/2d stamp, and postage went up to 1d for postcards in 1918, so it pre-dates that.
