Growing Up In Hawkhurst

A Memory of Hawkhurst.

I have so many happy memories of growing up in Hawkurst in the 1940s /1950s  and although Hawkhurst has changed a lot over the years it's a lovely place to visit.
I still remember all the shops along the colonnade and the moor. Buss the bakers at the moor and little sweet shop just round the corner and 'Pipers' the sweet shop was owned by my friend's grandparents.
We used to go hop picking as well.
I also got married in St Laurence's Church which I remember having a new roof as it was bombed during the war.
