I couldn't tell for the boys head but I assume that it does say Pluckley and Buxted Sussex on the first image.
Nice find scandi, thanks you're the best.

Thanks for the love, Mani & packrat
@scandi
I've been trying to figure out what town the second photo was taken, but haven't had much luck.
It is possible that the man holding the horse in photo #1 is the same man doing the same thing in photo you provided link for.
Thanks for the love, toolate.
Great find scandi, I just did a google drive by (street view) of the location 238 Bush Road, East Peckham. It is amazing how little it has changed in 100 plus years.
I'm not sure if the cottage was in also Peckham Bush.
When I enlarge the image there is a three letter word in front of that, I think it is "and". So if it says "and at the Bush" it would imply that the cottage is at one of the other locations
Yes you are correct, so it isn't Pluckley then.
Thanks for the love, chevy & scott.
Thanks for the love, bratjdd.
@ scandinavian_pieces, that is your choice scandi I will leave that up to you to decide.
Your'e welcome, it was my pleasure. I hope you have more photos of your family to post.
