Kent memories

East Hill

East Hill, Old Cottages 1903
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

i can remember visiting this nursery on east hill. It belonged to my grandfather and I spent many happy days going around the plants with him, I remember him growing yellow tomatoes. His two elderly sisters lived in the cottage. Can anyone else remember this nursery it was demolished in the 60's and was made a car park.

I visited the nursery quite a lot, we knew the people who work there. I was only ten years old. I remembered the pub up the road, Duke of Marlborough. Where have the good memories gone, from Malcolm Read.

This is the old family house of Sir John Fogge, much of it has been rebuilt over the years and it is now in the hands of developers so we will watch to see it being restored and given a useful purpose in the community.
We are descended from this family, my mother was a Fogg. We are now in the process of reseaching the lives listed in the old 'Pedigree of the Fogge'

My Dad!

The Hare And Hounds Public House at Potters Corner 2004
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My Dad's name was Vernon (Nonny) Marsh and we lived for years at 6 Sandyhurst Lane before moving into Ashford to Sackville Crescent. The Hare and Hounds was, for better or worse, and bless him it was sometimes worse, his local pub. My Mum's name was Joan. Does anyone remember us?

Fractured Arm

We lived literally round the corner in 27 Sackville Crescent. I remember when I was about 12 I fell over on my roller skates and hurt my arm. When it still hurt the next day, my mum, who thought I was making a fuss about nothing, said if it hurts, go to the hospital - so I did! And it transpired that I had a greenstick fracture of my forearm and they put me in plaster for eight weeks ! So there!
