Kent Through Time

Kent Through Time

Robert Turcan

Kent derives its name from the Cantii an early tribe that settled in this corner of England. Its current residents, numbering around 1.5 million, make it the most populous county in the UK. With excellent natural conditions for agriculture to prosper it has become universally know as the 'Garden of England'. This much coined summary, however, only partly describes the richness of attractions contained within its boundaries.A unique architectural heritage can be discovered among the particularly high density of castles, country houses and more modest listed buildings dotted around towns and villages. The contrasting old and new images within this book provide an insight into how the many changes of the past century have affected Kent. They also reveal the fine character of its true beauty and surprising diversity.

Kent at War 1939-45

Kent at War 1939-45

Kent at War 1939 - 45 is a comprehensive account of the part that the county played in the Second World War, covering in great detail a combination of life on the home front from a civilian perspective balanced against that of a military one. The book's narrative looks at the part played by the Dover Patrol in keeping Allied shipping safe in the English Channel, not to mention the preparation and the aftermath of the Dunkirk evacuations in May 1940, with all of the vessels leaving from and returning to Kent ports and harbours. Other topics covered include the part played by the numerous Kent airfields during the Battle of Britain between July and October 1940, and the Richborough camp, which was set up in 1939 at the old First World War Kitchener barracks. Here Jewish men who had escaped from such countries as Germany and Austria, were put up as refugees, and the book includes never before published letters written to one of the camps residents during his stay there. The author also discusses the county's military hospitals, Belgium refugees, as well as the restricted military areas that adorned the Kent coast line, as the people of Kent battened down the hatches knowing full well that not only were they on the front line of attack, but the very first line of defence in the case of a German invasion.

BRADT TRAVEL GUIDES
2026
nidottu
Folkestone resident and prolific travel writer Simon Richmond turns the spotlight on his home county in the new, thoroughly updated second edition of Bradt's Kent (Slow Travel), which is part of Bradt's distinctive, award-winning series of 'Slow' travel guides to UK regions - and remains the only standalone guidebook to Kent. Walkers, cyclists, families, foodies, art lovers and wildlife enthusiasts are all catered for, with intimate detail and insider tips about a wide range of attractions, as well as all the practical information needed to enjoy England's delightful southeasternmost corner. The diversity of Kent is striking - and this in-depth guide covers many lesser-known locations as well as all the most popular places. Embraced by the English Channel, North Sea and Thames Estuary, the county's 200 km of coastline includes some of Britain's finest seaside resorts and maritime walks. British history is writ large across Kent. Roman ruins include Richborough fort and Lullingstone villa. Keep an eye out for invaders along the ramparts of Dover Castle or from one of the Napoleonic Martello Towers that guard Kent's southern coast. Imagine the lives of historical figures as diverse as Anne Boleyn, Charles Darwin and Vita Sackville-West in the castles and grand country houses in which they once lived, or visit the Historic Dockyard Chatham, where Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory was built. Explore Dover and spend time at its iconic White Cliffs, saunter through Vita Sackville-West's gorgeous gardens at the National Trust's Sissinghurst estate, visit the grave of Pocahontas in Gravesend, and contemplate thought-provoking public art in the revitalised seaside town of Folkestone. Canterbury Cathedral, part of a UNESCO-listed World Heritage Site, forms the seat of the Church of England, while Dungeness comprises an extraordinary beach of vegetated shingle that is home to artist and film-maker Derek Jarman's Prospect Cottage. There are oddities too, such as St Leonard's Church in Hythe, which houses the UK's largest and best-preserved collection of ancient human skulls and bones, and Europe's only crab museum (in Margate). From castles and water sports to beaches and wildlife (including reintroduced European bison!), discover Kent with Bradt's unique Slow Travel guide.

Kent's Seaside Resorts Through Time

Kent's Seaside Resorts Through Time

John Clancy

Amberley Publishing
2012
nidottu
Kent has one of the longest coastlines in Britain and was at the forefront of the growth of the British seaside industry from the eighteenth century onwards when sea bathing became fashionable. The Kent coast is within relatively easy access of London, so a day trip to the coast became a great attraction for fashionable Londoners. For the most part, transport to these fashionable new resorts was by ship but as some resorts did not have a harbour there was a problem getting passengers ashore.By the mid-nineteenth century the piers had become the most fashionable place to promenade in town. They quickly evolved into attractions in their own right with ornate pavilions containing all sorts of amusements as well as tearooms. Iconic emblems of the seaside experience and unique attractions, the new seaside resorts fiercely contested to have the best showpiece pleasure pier.
