Kent memories
The Taylors
My grandfather who I never knew was Albert George Taylor, born in Petham 1886. He was killed in France on Christmas Eve 1914. His father was Frederick and mother Elizabeth Taylor, he had brothers and sisters: Thomas, Frederick, Rosa, Edith.
I currently live in Adelaide, South Australia and would be pleased to hear from anyone who could give me some information as to the history of this family, or any know relatives, unfortunately my mother Ethel Taylor lost contact with the family after his death.

WINCHEAP SCHOOL
I have a photo of the 'top class' sitting in front of what had been the connecting passage from the Head Master's Office(Mr Bradshaw) to another part of the school. It was known as 'the drainpipe' after the school was blitzed, we had our school dinners in there!. I don't know who took the photo but we all had a copy. I was then Doris Bailey.
Bishopsbourne School
I loved school. There was one teacher, Miss Castle, she lived with her sister in a house attached to the school. One day Miss Castle gave us all a small Union Jack flag and told us to stand beside the school wall as someone important was coming by and sure enough along came Winston Churchill, we all waved our flags and he gave us the V for victory sign. The purpose of his visit was to inspect a railway gun (The Bosche Buster) which was housed in an old railway tunnel further up the road.
The Old Mill
The mill bridge shown in the photograph was washed away in a flood in the 1960's. Unfortunately the mill pond was a favourite place for some children to swim in then. We lost one of the children on the hospital estate by drowning there in the pond, whose name was Billy Johnson, whose parents worked as nurses at St Augustine's in 1963. He is buried in Chartham cemetery.
Beech House
Beech House was the school attached to St. Augustines,which used to be the County Asylum. I was there from 1964-66. I always found the people of Chartham top be lovely and kind. I remember walks down to the church and mill,and waiting on the station to go home for the holidays. I have only fond memories of Chartham and it's people
Asylum
My ancestor Jecoliah Coleman (nee Roberts) was admitted to the Chartham asylum in the late 1800's, and died here in 1915. She had a husband and 2 sons still alive so I wonder why she needed to be admitted, poor woman.
Hop Picking
I have good memorys of Chartham. My family used to go hopping every year. We were on a Mr Finn's farm untill the late 1950s when he stopped the hand-picking. I would like to get some photos of the hopping huts we stayed in for 6 weeks. When Mr Finn ceased picking we went down the road to another farm, it was called Robson Farm but later it became Hulmes Farm. I still go back to re-live the good old times, allthough it has changed so much. We stopped hand-picking on Hulmes Farm in the late 1970s.
Don.
