Rusthall Common, Near Royal Tunbridge Wells

Rusthall is my mother's childhood home and she remembers happy times playing on the Common.

This is an artist drawn postcard by F W Burton, posted in 1914 and published by J Salmon of Sevenoaks.

Here is a view of the church from the common, number 38159 in the Valentine's series.  The trees have grown so much that a similar view would be impossible today.

This view of the church from the east was painted by A R Quinton and was published on card number 1238 by J Salmon of Sevenoaks.
