Memories of Kent
The Barming Boys
The Barming Boys hang around at clair park they are very nice people. Alot say they are the toughest around because they are if they get in to a fight they will always win. The Best one Is Matt he is cool, he cheers people up when they are down.
Sad Days
Unfortunately Barming doesn't go down well in my memories, I was only a child but I remember going with my dad and brother to what I thought was a hospital but it wasn't, my mother was locked up there several times and I found out much later she is a manic depressive and it was an asylum she was in called Oakwood, does anyone else remember this place?
Brook Family
I know this is not a memory, however I am looking for any Brook family members, namely Edward and Ann Brook who moved there in the early 1800s.
Their son Benjamin emigrated to Australia in 1837 with his wife Mary Craddock, then their son James emigrated to Australia in 1850, and Edward emigrated to Australia in 1853. If anyone has any information please contact harttoheart@bigpond.com.
Lone Cottage East Farleigh
Does anyone have any information regarding Robert Horace Chilton or Nora Gwendoline Ashlee who lived at Lone Cottage in 1953. They had a young daughter (Linda) and a baby ( Robin). Robin was later adopted. We only lived there a very short time. I am trying to research my family tree. Please help.
You are so lucky to live in a beautiful part of the country
Clare Park
I lived in Larkfield but have very fond memories of Clare Park Secondary School. I only went there up to 4th year as in July 1980 we emigrated to Australia. I can remember the cross country run in the middle of winter and trying to not slip on the ice. I can remember Mr Derfell as a teacher, and old Mrs Potters? gardening hut. And sneaking off to the chippy at lunch time to get hot chips instead of school dinners.
