A seaside holiday at Allhallows
My earliest memories of the seaside are from the 1950's. We lived in Bexleyheath and - like most people - did not own a car in those far off austerity years after the war. For this reason our summer holidays were always on the nearby north Kent coast and we would travel by train!
Our trip to Allhallows... [more]

Kent memories
My name is Stanley Fritter and I was born in 1943 at 'Cuckolds Green', during an air raid, so my mother told me, but we lived at 3 Brook Row. My best and longest friend is Val Mudge, who lived next door, as youngsters we were always together, so much so that we became more like siblings. At the end of... [more]

After the war in 1946 my father, a sergeant in the MPSC, was transfered to Darland camp in Gillingham but as there were no married quarters available there we, as a family, were billeted in the Coastguards quarters on the Isle of Grain.
These were a row of houses with a bedroom in the attic from which we could see across... [more]

Villages of Kent Photographic Memories
Allhallows is in the hundred of Hoo, close by the Thames. It looks as if the Rose and Crown might have at least one customer taking refuge from the cold winds of this exposed part of the Hoo Peninsula. Isolation led in the past to the area being a hotbed of smuggling. Today, once away from these few houses, you cannot... [more]

Kent Revisited Photographic Memories
This small landing bay off the Thames estuary near the Isle of Grain is popular with fishermen and amateur sailors. The hook, centre foreground, and mooring blocks suggest that a small craft is often tied here, and the bathing huts, right, are well kept and brightly painted. Is the woman on the shingle the owner of what looks like a coat... [more]

Chatham and the Medway Towns Photographic Memories
In 1933, 70 acres of chalk downland were acquired by Chatham and Gillingham councils to create this beautiful open countryside nature reserve between the two towns. The local wildlife includes several species of orchids and butterflies. At the centre of this picture, we can see the horses of travellers whose mobile homes are among the trees.
