Whitstable, Kent Beggars Bush 1840

The Tithe Survey gives Beggars Bush (no.103, 13 acres 2 roods 27 poles and no.103, 3 roods 36 poles ) and also Shaw in Beggars Bush (no.105, 18 poles)

Brian Smith lists Beggars Bushe Field for 1860. Assuming the later name is the same the location it is between the Canterbury Road and Thanet Way, just SE of Ellenden Farm, in a clearing on the edge of Ellenden Wood.
