More about this scene
A costumer and milliner, H H Connolly (third left) ensured that villagers had a chance to sport the latest twenties fashions. The weather-boarded property, left, was a post office, with G H Moorhouse the chemist and a trader, A J Gray, nearby. Are the two men (centre left) discussing the latest scandal of the day - a dance craze known as the Charleston?

A Selection of Memories from Hawkhurst
For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Hawkhurst
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
In 1969 my friend Nick Martin, who lived in Hawkhurst, and I, hitch-hiked across to the Taj Mahal in India.
Sadly I have lost touch with Nick and I wonder whether any of your contributors may be able to help us get back in contact again.

I was born in Hawkhurst in 1941 went to school there from January 1947 until I got married my maiden name was Jsephine Mary HILLMAN. Ihave been married to Roger. Maynard for 57 years does anyone remember me?
On this 70th Anniversary of V E day, I remember going to the Victoria Hall with my family, friends and neighbours for a lively celebration. This was my first introduction to the Hokey Cokey, Knees up Mother Brown and the Palais Glide which young and old participated in with great enjoyment.
Pauline Sims nee Bird
I just wondered if anyone remembers any of the Johnson family from Hawkhurst, Benjamin Johnson had the Blacksmiths which is now the Garage and Albert Charles Johnson also worked there. He moved to Cranbrook in later life to live with his daughter, Alice. There were a few other brother's and sisters too.
Any information is welcomed
