Kent memories
Frank Wood
I used to visit Woolage village as a very young child where I used to stay with my grandfather Frank Wood. My father is Alan Wood who was brought up in the village from 1947 and I would be very interested to hear from anyone who knew either of them and has any stories. Thank you
Once Upon A Time
I lived in Gate Cottage for 2 years after my parents moved there from Surrey. They moved to return to dad's home county and to be close to my uncle and aunt who lived in Holt Street, Nonington. At one time there were 10 Packers living in Nonington/Frogham. I married a girl from Nonington College who I met in the Royal Oak at Nonington and my sister married in Barfrestone church. A lovely part of the world. I remember the Bridge Club (village, not cards!), Duck Inn at PettBbottom and Dirty Dick's Cafe in Sandwich (best steaks ever). Great pubs including the Blazing Donkey and the Black Pig. I lived in Shepherdswell for a while after marriage but moved to Sussex then Wiltshire in later retired life. I have a feeling that history will agree I lived in the best of all times.
Shepherdswell And The Amos Family
I am a newcomer to Shepherdswell but my daughter in law, Jackie Amos, comes from a long line of the family name. Her mum Madeline Amos married Brian Amos, both had the same name before marriage but were unrelated. The family butchers shop in Shepherdswell had been running for many years, originally started by Jackie's great great grandfather Joseph Amos in the 19th century. The shop has long since gone, but if anyone has memories of the Amos family in the 1960s or earlier, it would be fun to learn more. David
Through The Kitchen Window
I was born in my Grandparents house - "Wimbourne" - in the valley below the Mill. Many pleasant hours have I spent sitting in the kitchen with my grandmother shelling peas that granddad had grown in the garden. The Mill could be seen from the kitchen window high on the downs. When travelling through Bridge on the Canterbury Road, we would all try to see who could spot the Mill first, a sure sign that we were home again!
Great Grand Parents Lived in Barhamn "Black" Mill
my ancestoers richard walter and family lived in Barham mill. The mill is also the "location" for the movie Raising a Riot.
The Sportsman's Arms
My parents had the pub "The Sportsmans Arms". I was only 5 or 6 years old when we lived there so I don't remember the fine details but I do remember Mrs. Mac at the shop on the corner. I used to spend quite a lot of time with Mr. and Mrs. Doubleday. He was an artist, I think, and he painted a picture of me sitting on his lounge floor with toys around me. My mother (Mrs. Maxie Attoe) wanted to buy it from him but he didn't want to sell it. I've often wondered where it ended up and have dreamed of finding and owning it. Living in Barham was one of the happiest times in my life - it's such a shame that my parents divorced and we all had to move away. If you remember me, my parents Maxie and George Attoe, my brothers David, Tony and Philip, or my grandmother Alice Wright, I'd be thrilled to hear what you remember of us. I can be reached...

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.
