Kimpton-on-Sea

In the short story The Rajah's Emerald, Kimpton-on-Sea is a fashionable seaside resort. It had two large expensive hotels, including the Esplanade Hotel. There were also "several miles of picturesque bungalows" owned by high society people. The rent of a typical bungalow was said to be upwards of twenty-five guineas a week. Nearby is the neighbouring town of Harchester.
