Kent memories
Childhood Memories
I grew up in boughton in the 1960s. This is exactly as I remember it. I used to sit on this bench as a teenager with friends. I am sure we drove the residents mad.
My House
The white house shown was the house I grew up in. If this photo is 1960 I would have been living there at the time it was taken - how fascinating to see this. The street at the time was the main A2 and very busy. What memories this has rekindled.
School Canteen
The building on the left used to be the school canteen. I remember the crocodile of children, me included, walking down from the school for our dinner.
Church Choir
I sang in the church choir here in the 1960s. I loved singing at weddings, seeing everybody dressed up. As it was a small village many of the weddings would have elder siblings or relatives of school friends, who would have been a guest or bridesmaid. We used to get paid for weddings, I think it was sixpence.
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
Wonderful Childhood in Yorkletts in The 1960s
Hi, I would love to hear from anyone that may have memories of Yorkletts in the late 1960s. I used to spend a lot of time in the village, spending all my school hols with my gran who lived in a bungalow on the straight, towards Dargate, called Red Roses. I used to ride at the stables, Ellenden Stables, I think and remember going to the stores (not the post office) with my gran, I think the shop was called 'Sunshine Stores' but not too sure. I walked up the path in the photo so many times, it was quite a walk from where gran lived but was worth it for a lolly - I've been on Google and have identified the old Post Office, the bungalow still has the arch and small roof window and the bungalow that was next door is still fundamentally the same, the two buildings were separated by an emptly strip of land, now there's a house on there but the other two properties are...
