Shared Memories of Chilham
 Chilham, the Church 1903 (ref: 50347) |
Year: 1966
Don't get caught!
The Rev Lawson caught three of us smoking in the graveyard here, he then said he would tell my dad unless we all swept up the leaves around the main church door, which we all did. My dad was the local copper then, and a clout round the ear I would have got!! Last edited: 02/09/2008 15:02 by Nev Bishop |

Many a beer here
Many a beer here I have downed, served by the landlady who was then locally known as Brandy Lil, I can't imagine why though? Last edited: 02/09/2008 15:03 by Nev Bishop |

 Chilham, the Castle c1955 (ref: C90006) |
Year: 1973
My first flat
No I'm not joking, when we first got married we lived in a flat in Chilham Castle which was at the time above the Battle of Britain museum at the rear of the castle, yes it was cold there in the winter. We were allowed to walk around the lakes and gardens, whenever we wished. My father was the local village policeman, PC Bill Bishop. who managed to persuade a certain Lord Mazzerin to rent it out to us. Mice, yes, they were in abundance, the record then was 21 in two days, what did I do with them all you may ask? My wife would throw them out of the window in disgust of condition of the castle. Just beneath our flat there was also a small cafe, they sweep up all the bodies and wonder where they kept coming from! Last edited: 02/09/2008 15:06 by Nev Bishop |

 Chilham, the High Street c1955 (ref: C90024) |
Year: 1964
Oh happy days
1st white house on left was the 2nd post office where I had to go every morning to collect and deliver all the Chilham newspapers around the village for the grand sum of £2 per week. Post master then was a Ken Parker, I had to finish by 8am to catch Herbi Arnold's school bus to get to Chartham Secondary School. Last edited: 02/09/2008 15:07 by Nev Bishop |
