Kent memories
May Family From 1770
I'm not adding a memory but I do have an interest in Throwley. I have been doing some family research on my mother's side and I have found my 2 x great-grandfather JOHN MAY was born in Throwley in the year 1842, and it looks like the Mays go back to my 5 x greatgrandfather THOMAS. What I would like to know and I know this will be a long shot but is any of the family still living in Throwley, or can anyone help me with any form of info, I would love to hear from you. Kind regards ROBERT JOHNSON. email me: guff6877@yahoo.com.
A Very Fine Pub
A very fine pub, that's if you can find it, in the middle of nowhere, deep inside Perry Wood. It's worth looking for. This used to be the Perry Wood winkle club in the 1960s and 1970s, where you would get your winkle out of your pocket before another club member did, the loser would have to get the drinks in first! No joke, the landlord in the years I first went there was known as Mad John who collected sailors' hats which were displayed around the 2 bars. I sometimes sat in his garage repairing his daughter's motorcycle with the odd drink to keep me going!!
Picking Fruit!
It was the summer of 2006 and it was the greatest summer for me, my life is not the same boring life. I want only one thing .... I want to return in England, one of the greatest countries in the world.
Living With Nanny
I remember well living with my nanny in Neames Forstell, she was Rose Beake, a formidable lady, but oh how I loved her. I remember going to Selling school, and if it rained or snowed being brought home in the police car by Sargeant Onions. I remember going to play "up round the ring", going to find uncle Harold and aunty Edie, oh so many memories. I was happiest staying with nanny, going to play in the garden of the Sondes Arms, feeding the chickens, except when the cockerel bit me, well I did poke my finger through the wire. I never wanted to go home, I loved it at nanny's, even when aunty Dot tried to make me try coffee, now I never drink anything else. My saddest moment was in November 1955 when we all piled into the removal van, to go and live in Stoke on Trent. It might have been the moon, I didn't want to go. That was where dad lived and I didn't like... Read more
Stalisfield Church
Hi I grew up living at Stalisfield, and left when I was 18. My mother died and my father is still there and recently I have become more interested in the history of Stalisfield. Why is the church so far from the village? What used to be by the church? Was there a windmill there as well? Any information about the history would be very interesting. Thank you.
My Mother's Memories of Ospringe
After a time Mother married Charles Gamble, we called him Pop. He left the Merchant Navy and went to work on the Estate for my Grandfather. We got a house at Ospringe it was next door to a water mill. The water used to run down through the street, very unusual it was. There was a pond at the back, I did not like it as there were so many creepy things in it. But we liked living at Ospringe, it was a lovely place, and we made many friends. Among them there was Nellie Ward, the Speed family - Molly, Queenie, Dorothy and Sonny. There were lovely meadows to play in, when it was a hot summer's day we would take a picnic. We would play at weddings and share our food to make a reception. Mother would give us an old curtain to make a veil, a long dress and high heeled shoes. We used to enjoy ourselves in that kind of way as there was no television... Read more
Notes From The Frith Files.
The trade bicycle centre right of the photo belongs to Friars Bakery. The bakery is set back out of view where the bicycle is parked. It is now converted to a bungalow. The single storey building mid-left, was the Rifle Range. All buildings on the left hand side have now been replaced by housing except for the building with the advertising hoardings.
