Geographical Notes and Social context: From THE DOVER EXPRESS AND EAST KENT NEWS—FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1901
The village of Hougham is scattered over a wide semi-circular area, presenting an extended front to the west from Dover, its loft couching the Folkestone road at Farthingloe, its centre at Church Hougham, on very elevated ground about three miles from Dover, and its left at West Hongham.
The southern, seaward boundary of the parish runs as far as Jury Gap, near which is Lydden Spout, a cascade of sparkling water from the same spring that supplies Folkestone Waterworks. At this point there are, or were, two large chambers cut in the cliff, called the “Coining House,” used formerly by smugglers, but owing to the Coastguard Station in the vicinity, those apartments have been to let.
The land in the rural part of Hougham, exclusive of the foreshore, is about 2,000 acres, There are 64 separate ratings of land and trade premises, and there are 102 houses rated, including 72 cottages. The surface of the arable land at Hougham is remarkably productive of flints.
The population of the rural part of Hougham has, according to the return of the last census decreased, the total being 488, as compared with 523 in 1891^[1]
The Coastguard station at Lyddon Spout can be viewed on their OS maps.^[2]A terrace of 10 cottages providing accommodation for the station staff.
