Grandfather
My paternal grandfather was born in West Hougham in 1864. His name was Harry Brigham Barton. His father was a wheelwright and lived it West Hougham. His name was Thomas Skinner Barton.
Shepherdswell And The Amos Family
I am a newcomer to Shepherdswell but my daughter in law, Jackie Amos, comes from a long line of the family name. Her mum Madeline Amos married Brian Amos, both had the same name before marriage but were unrelated. The family butchers shop in Shepherdswell had been running for many years, originally started by Jackie's great great grandfather Joseph Amos in the 19th century. The shop has long since gone, but if anyone has memories of the Amos family in the 1960s or earlier, it would be fun to learn more. David
This Was The in Place When I Was 18
I remember this as being the place to go when we were out for the evening. We used to drink vodka and lime and think we were really cool. It used to get packed out and was really modern and trendy in it's day.

1945 to 1966
My grandparents, Jabez Smith and Kate his wife owned the post office in Coombe Valley Road, formerly Union Road, before and during the war. Their daughter Rose Moss (my Mother) ran it from the age of sixteen. They also owned and lived in The Bungalow just a half a mile east of St Radiguns Abbey ruins. Apparently it is still there today.
We moved to a small shop in Douglas Road, Tower Hamlets in 1949. My Mother ran that shop until VAT was introduced, I think it was 1977.
I attended Astor School from 1956 to 1960.
I left school and worked at The Crypt Restaurant from 1960 until Bernie Inns took it over.
I then worked for Ted Perry at The Britannia Inn until I left to seek my fame and fortune, both turned out to be elusive butterflies.
I am writing a blog on my experiences in Dover from 1949 to 1961.

Fools Gold And Castles
I can look back to sunny days and my uncle helping us to collect fools gold at St Margaret at Cliff. Auntie Alice would pack up a picnic and we would take a ride in the car (I can't remember what type) and we would sit down on the beach, I think it was cobbles, I don't remember any sand. We would spend a couple of weeks of our school holidays with Alice and Jeff, it probably gave mum and dad a bit of peace and quiet. We would be taken to lots of local sites. There was a park and it had a river flowing through it, I think there were some ruins or old walls but I can't remember the name, it really was a very happy time. I would have been about 8, so I am guessing at 1978, could have been 79.
The Burley Family on Sandwich Road
My great x3 grandparents George and Maria Burley lived on Sandwich Rd in the 1880's and 1890's. Maria (maiden name Andrews) was born in Eythorne in 1837. If anyone has any information about what Eythorne, or specifically Sandwich Rd was like at this sort of time I'd love to hear from you.
