Hello There,

Campbell Lodge, 13 Wrotham Road, which somebody mentioned earlier on is where Stanley Spooner was born on the 20th of November 1856. He became the creator and editor of Flight magazine.

Stanley's father, Frederick William Spooner, was one of my 4x great granddad's. In the 1871 census, he was an accountant of the Tilbury and Southend Railway company. He was living at:

Dashwood Cottage, Old Dover Road, Gravesend.
Here is the census image from Find My Past:

I wander if anyone knows if that is still there please/ if not where exactly it would be?

Thank you very much.  :) ;)

Dashwood Cottage was in Dashwood Rd, opposite the entrance to Woodlands Park. It was taken over by Gravesend Council, used as 'drawing offices' and 'parks and gardens' office; now demolished and built over.

You can see Dashwood Cottage on the map at https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/564137/172926/13/100765
Change the zoom level as necessary.
