Kent memories
The Old M Stores
My two aunts used to run the old M stores in East Studdal, my family used to stay at the shop and I have fantastic memories of travelling from SE London in my dads 3 wheeler to visit in the school holidays. The shop was a real old fashioned shop with jars of sweets and other essentials. My aunts, Maud and May (hence the "M" stores) used to sit out the back of the shop. Wonderful memories.....
The Burley Family on Sandwich Road
My great x3 grandparents George and Maria Burley lived on Sandwich Rd in the 1880's and 1890's. Maria (maiden name Andrews) was born in Eythorne in 1837. If anyone has any information about what Eythorne, or specifically Sandwich Rd was like at this sort of time I'd love to hear from you.

Childhood
I was born at Yew Tree Cottage Lower Eythorne, opposite the White Horse pub in 1945, and left the village when I was 21.
I remember the fresh fish van, the cricket pitch behind the pub in Upper Eythorne, steamrollers, bubbles in the tar during the summer, collecting car numbers, the number 88 bus to Dover, Sunday School, Elvington School when it was a long wooden building, cricket and football at the Colliery Welfare Ground, going for walks along the lane, collecting blackberries and wild strawberries, wandering around Ledger's farm, climbing trees along Shepherdswell Road, and many more.
My Family in Sandwich Road
My dad Neville Gerry was born in Sandwich Road in 1949, he was the youngest of 5 children. He was not what you would call a model son as he used to follow my grandmother home after she took him to school. I spent many a happy summer there myself, walking through the fields and going to Tommy's hole to play. Collecting blakberries along the disused railway track and spending time at the stables next to the church. We spent many happy hours there and going to the post office each morning to collect the papers and getting sweets.
Majula House
When my grandfather Edward Mackenzie was married in 1915 his place of residence was given as Majula House, Lower Eythorne. I presume he was lodging there. He was a miner who I believe came from the north east. Does anyone know where is/was Majula House? jbmack
Pittock & Wraight Family
In Studdall Street, Little Mongeham in 1881-91, Henry Pittock a wagonner lived with his wife & daughter both called Frances.
Henry was born about 1856 in Kingsdown, Kent, the son of Henry Stephen Pittock & Margaret Rattray Goldsack. Mrs Frances was christened Frances Beaney Maria Wraight at St Margarets at Cliff in 1861 by her parents William Wraight & Sarah Curling Baker. Her unmarried brother William was living with them in Little Mongeham in 1881.
The Pantomime at The Welfare Hall
My mum was called Jill Drake and my dad was Bob Drake and he worked down the pit. We lived in St Johns Road and I remember that I was about 7 when the Elvington Players was first launched. The Pantomime was Mother Goose and somewhere I have a photo of it which I will try and find it. It was a great hit and I think most families in Elvington had a part. I remember that Pearl and Alf Tridini were in it and the costumes were great. All singing, all dancing.
