Ashford, Repton Manor House 2004 (ref: A71703k)
The Old Fogge Family Residence in 1454
A memory of Ashford, Kent

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'

Year: 1959 East Hill old cotts
A memory of Ashford, Kent

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.

Ashford, East Hill, old cottages 1903 (ref: 50333)
Year: 1950 east hill
A memory of Ashford, Kent

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.

  Year: 1956 High street
A memory of Ashford, Kent

I can remember being taken shopping in the High Street, to Sainsbury's before it was a supermarket. There were tiled floors and walls, wooden counters with cheeses, cold meats and bacon, and the assistants wore their hair in nets or hats. There were seats for the elderly customers and nothing was ready-packaged.

  Lovelace family
A memory of Bethersden, Kent

I am searching for any references or memories relating to the LOVELACE family
I am told there was a Lovelace Place and a Lovelace Chapel in the Roman Catholic church. If any person has any such knowledge, please contact me via this site.
