Kent memories
Lived There
i lived there with my parents.... in fact they still live there
My Parents And One of my Aunts Lived Here
My parents lived in one of the double houses in Grange Road from the early 1970s till the late 1980s, while my aunt lived in one of the singles in Rectory Lane from the 1960s until her death in the early 1990s.
I was at the old primary school in the 1960s and we often had "gym" classes in the village hall, I remember the paintings were enormous to a small child. Jumble sales were always good fun and I remember buying a Monopoly game for sixpence that my aunt had donated. In recent years my nephew had his wedding reception there, it hasn't changed a bit.
The Bon Marche
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 shelves with tins on. The cashier was in the middle of the shop in what I always thought of as a cage. I think a Miss Sharp ran this shop.
There was also another village shop overlooking the village green where Nanny and I would go. They sold little Hovis loaves which she would buy when I came to stay.
My grandparents also owned and ran Balgowan. I believe this was after WWII and was a type of boarding house.
Red Lion Pub
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.
We Lived In Saltwood In The 1960s & 70s
We lived at Well House in Castle Road, Saltwood for about 15 years in the 1960s & 70s....Mum, Dad, my 2 brothers and myself. Absolutely loved the place and was gutted when parents moved us all to Bournemouth. We used to love going the to farm at the end of the road and playing around the castle. My younger brother went to the junior school at Kiln Corner and my older brother and I went to Harvey Grammar School in Folkestone. This entailed 3 buses....the first was the 110 from Kiln Corner to Hythe. I remember the butcher's shop in the village (I think it was called Eric Boddy) which was run by a man we knew as Brian....he married a woman called Jackie who worked next door in the post office and I think they lived above the butche'rs shop. Winters were often cold in Saltwood (in those days!!) and when it snowed, which it usually did every year, we would tobaggan down the hills just off Tanner Hill... Read more
Whythenshawe House
My grandmother was in service in a house in Saltwood. I have been trying for years to locate it but to no avail. All I know is the address is: Whythenshaw, Saltwood, Kent. I am assuming it was a house but it may not have been. If anyone can help solve the puzzle it would be very much appreciated.
The Canal.
I was born in Hythe and spent all my childhood there. My brother, sister and I used to walk home from school along the canal bank. In the holidays we would take jam jars and catch tadpoles. In the winter, we would slide on the frozen water.
