Kent memories
My Old Home Town
I lived in Mounts Road for the first eleven years of my life and spent most of my days exploring during the summer holidays, espcially the cows field at the rear of our house as there was a tunnel in middle of field where the old railway used to run. We were told stories of how the tunnel caved in and the train was buried. One day my friend and myself went down to explore and there sticking out were the bumpers of a train. I never forget that day because we scared the begeebers out of each other saying we could hear cries of the people that were buried alive on the train and imagined them to be the workers coming from the chalk pit. It's funny the things that stay with you and I always wonder whether the stories that were told to us were true.
Lost Friends
I was a cadet on HMS Worcester 1957-1959.
HMS 'Worcester' c1950 And 1968
My father, Nick Child, was a cadet on the 'Worcester' circa 1950-52. He took me aboard in 1968 - fascinating ship, it's a shame she is still not there ...
I Was Born Here
I was born at 16 Cobham Terrace in 1935 with quite a number of relations as neighbours, last names being the Day family and Blagdens. I have resided in Canada for 45 years. Is there anyone out over there that would like to get in touch with me? Clive Jeffrey

Come on people, let's hear from you in America, tell us some those war stories of the Doodlebugs that hit Kent.
HMS Worcester & F T Everard & Sons Ltd
I came to know Greenhithe very well. Firstly as a cadet on the Worcester from 1962 to 1965, and again from 1972 to 1979 when I was employed by Everards.
Looking at Google maps of Greenhithe, the place has changed beyond recognition.
Cobham Terrace.
I was born in Dartford in 1951 and lived at 16 Cobham Terrace from about 1958. We used to collect empty lemonade bottles from neighbours and take them on our trolley to The Railway Tavern to get a penny back on the empties! Miss Loveland lived next door and had a little whippet called Flossie.
