My father talks of growing up in the Red Lion Pub near Saltwood - would this be correct or have I got the pub's name wrong? His surname is Casey.

My grandparents lived here. My grandmother ran the shop and my grandfather was a carpenter in Hythe. I have very happy memories of sitting behind the big glass fronted cabinet on a stool, taking the customers' money and giving them their greenshield stamps.
I remember a very old fashioned grocery shop near The Bon Marche with wooden floorboards and high... [more]

1959. My family and I stayed at Grandmother's house in Seabrook. I was 7. We lived there while Dad was waiting for his next military post. We rode on the light railway often and I remember being enchanted. I thought the idea that some people used the railway for their regular transport, to school or work, was magic.

I used to live in Sir John Moore Avenue, Hythe. This small estate was built on the site of the School of Musketry. We went to Nova Scotia, Canada, to see my wife's family. While there, we visited a tourist attraction. I found myself at a bookstall, picked up a book that I liked the look of, turned it over to... [more]

Chatham and the Medway Towns Photographic Memories
Trees line one side, and telegraph poles the other side of this section of the A2 from Rainham to Gillingham, where Mrs Hall had her hairdresser's shop, E H Chatfield was the confectioner and Len Button the butcher. Zebra crossings gave pedestrians priority over vehicles from 1951, but the little dog on the right has other priorities; the number of pedestrians would seem to present no problems to either the disappearing horse-drawn vehicle or the approaching cyclist....

Chatham and the Medway Towns Photographic Memories
The shop with the telephone kiosk outside, the van, and the electricity supply lines dispel some of the timelessness that clings to one of the area's more remote villages, where The Bell inn has refreshed its customers (although not always with Style & Winch beers) since Tudor times.
