The Bungalows Granville Road. c1900
This Frith Postcard dates before 1910 and looks along Hotel Road towards the Lighthouse. The Granville Hotel is to the left, the South Foreland Lighthouse is on the far horizon and the properties along Granville Road are to the right. They seem to have been known at this time as The Bungalows.
The word had a different meaning at this time, normally referring to a large country or suburban house, often with a verandah, and it could have more than one storey. Today we normally expect bungalows to be of one storey, perhaps with an added storey or dormer built into a sloping roof.
