All Saints Church, Lydd

 All Saints Church, Lydd

Date April | Location Kent | Delmoihsed -  No 

I have to say, this church was quite charming and much larger than I expected. It is also very interesting. Unfortunately, the tower was closed, so I couldn't go inside, but I plan to check it out another day. We didn't spend too much time there since we needed to head home. The sunlight shining through the stained glass was lovely as well.

According to the information I found, the building is Grade I listed. During World War II, the church was severely damaged by bombs, but it was restored afterward. It is believed to have been built around the 5th century and boasts one of the tallest towers in the country, standing at 132 feet.

we have been waiting since pre covid to see these sound mirrors but always missed the open days - Then it was announced that there was gonna be an open day on 13th Feb 2022 - so straight away I jump on it and booked the tickets as it a place iv always wanted to see

we parked up are 20 mins away and took the lovely little walking route down to the sound mirrors once walking over some stone ( not very comfy in trainers) - they cross names off the list and then we walked over a very small single-file bridge onto the island where the sound mirrors site,

we took our time looking around the sound mirrors and taking photos - there was a talk about them but we didn't stay for the talk but took the opportunity to get some photos we wanted to get at the start without people around as everyone was at the 200f sound mirror.

according to the RSPB website for Denge sound mirrors - these sound mirrors was built between 1928/1935, These mirrors were built as an early warning system to pick up the sounds of approaching enemy aircraft ,

there are 3 sound mirrors that lay on the land and they arrange from 20ft to 200ft 

Lydd Train station

Lydd Train station 

Date: 9-3-2019 

location: Lydd 

access: no 

During our trip to Dungeness for the day, we noticed this abandoned train station and decided to stop and explore. To our surprise, getting inside was quite easy, and we were shocked by how many original features remained. The station opened in December 1881 but sadly closed to passengers in 1967. It continued to be used for freight trains until 1971, when it was completely abandoned
