White Bear Cottages, Fickleshole, Chelsham.

A Memory of Chelsham.

My Grandparents lived in one of the cottages attached to what is now the White Bear Inn. They appear on the Census of 1921 Walter Knight & Florence Knight. My Mother Sylvia Knight who was 3 at the time of the census lived there with her sister Nora aged 2 and a niece, Nellie Trice who was 12 , from Hillborough, Herne Bay as her parents had passed. When my mother married we lived just up the road at Blackmans Cottages and her sister lived just past us at Fairchild's Cottages. I was born at Blackmans cottages. My Grandparents are interned at St Leonards Church Chelsham as are my mother and father, my mothers sister and one of my brothers. A truly beautiful and secluded church, which I visit to pay my respects and tend to the graves.
