Nostalgic memories of Hextable's local history

Share your own memories of Hextable and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

College Road
I lived with my grandparents for a few years in the 40's at 2 College Road, Hextable. My grandma was a teacher at Crockenhill School, Mrs Avery and grandad worked at the nursery.

Nursery
Hi, I lived in Hextable from about the age of 9 until I was 17, when I joined the WRAF. We lived in New Road and there was a nursery opposite where we lived and the road was UN made. There was also an agricultural college in College Road. The school was not there, the site of the school was what we knew as the avenue with a lot of trees where we would walk the dog.

Nurseries In Hextable
I know there was a saying that ''people who lived in Hextable shouldn't throw stones'' because of the greenhouses that used to be there and probably they are the nurseries you are thinking of - I think they used to be in Puddledock Lane

The Careers Service College In Hextable
Kent College for the Careers Service was in College Road, Hextable. I was a student living in this college in 1987 and enjoyed my studies very much as the nature of the course tended towards exploring local facilities and occupations. I graduated and left in 1988 to become a school careers adviser with Hertfordshire Careers Service. I recall the college principal at that time was Alaine ...see more
