The East Kent Railway was one of Britain's less well known light railways, a part of the Colonel Stephens group of lines, the East Kent Railway was meant to open up the newly discovered Kent coal field and help to make its shareholders wealthy, however things took a different turn, when the projected colliery's along the line did not materialise the way the promoters had first envisaged. The only colliery to produce quantities of coal being Tilmanstone near Shepherdswell, which opened in 1912. There were other pits started along the formation of the line from Shepherdswell to Wingham, but in the cases of the other pits, only the surface buildings or test shafts were constructed, before the work was abandoned. This was largely due to flooding and the poor calorific quality of East Kent coal, which had to be mixed with other coal to be effectively used. There were four colliery's completed in Kent, the East Kent Railway only served one of them and this together with the other three lasted until the latter part of the 20th century. The railway operated a loss making passenger service to Wingham and for a few years to Sandwich Road halt on the line to Richborough Port line, however the service to Wingham Canterbury Road came to an end in October 1948, after British Railways had taken control. The East Kent Railway lasted through two world wars and was nationalised in 1948, becoming part of the Southern Region of British Railways, it closed to traffic in 1984, during the coal strike.

'Growing Up Kent' takes a humorous look as a young family navigates coming of age in Indiana during the 1980s and early 90s. From stories about the delicacies of the hand-me-down cycle, to the daily trips aboard the school bus, Growing Up Kent captures what it was like for the four boys growing up in the Kent Household. While the stories are specific to the Kent family, any parent, or child, or living human being that knows how to read will find the stories extremely relatable as most of us experienced some of the same forms of ridiculousness growing up. On the cover of the book, we see the family posing for a quick photo op prior to their Sunday visit to church. The mother smiles as she looks towards the camera, completely oblivious to the fact that the father, who stands next to her with his sly grin, has put her little darling boys up to several pranks. The child to the far right has hiked his pants up as high as they possibly could go, his hand slid into his pocket to keep them at the optimum height for the picture. The child directly in front of mother has turned his pockets out, to signify that he is flat out, dead-broke. The child dressed in the flannel, business-casual shirt, is in on the joke and can no longer hold it together so he begins laughing as the photo is taken. The youngest child, the one with the bowtie is as lost as the mother, so he laughs, mostly because everyone else is. Three weeks later, when the mother takes the film to the local Keltsch Drug Store to get the film developed, she discovers her entire family has sold her out for a cheap laugh, such is life in the Kent household. This book has been read by tens of people worldwide and continues to please those tens of individuals that have experienced it. In time, the reader will develop a fine appreciation for the stories related in this book, as they most likely have lived some similar experiences in their households either growing up, or raising children of their own.

This is a participant-observer's account of African American life in a small Southern town just prior to the Civil Rights era.Consisting of ""Blackways of Kent"" (1955), ""Millways of Kent"" (1958), and ""Townways of Kent"", the ""Kent Trilogy"" forms a remarkable southern ethnography that maps the social stratification of the Piedmont town of York, South Carolina, in the late 1940s, after the Great Depression and before Civil Rights era. In 1946 the University of North Carolina's Institute for Research in Social Science commissioned a series of southern community studies from which these volumes resulted.Lewis offers a participant-observer's views on small-town southern race relations in the mid-twentieth century. Based on Lewis's interviews with community informants and experiences working in York between 1948 and 1949, the dynamic descriptions of individuals and rich explorations of institutions and traditions bring the community to life once more. Wholly segregated from the townfolk and from the poor whites of the mill village, the black community constructed a fully realized culture all its own. Most telling in Lewis's astute observations into the hierarchy of this community is that, unlike the rigid white class structure based in ancestry and wealth, stratification in the black community was governed by personal behavior. This edition is expanded with a new preface by Reed on the origins and impact of the ""Kent Trilogy"" and new introduction by Stanfield detailing Lewis's field research for this volume as well as his subsequent career.
This is a compelling portrait of life in a Southern Piedmont mill village after the Great Depression.Morland's skill as an oral historian and his respect for blue-collar subjects allow him to describe the cotton mill workers of York as sympathetic, three-dimensional human beings, something a bit more than even their insular white neighbors in the town of York would have classified them as. As Morland discovered, the segregation of poor white mill workers from the existing town of York mirrored the experiences of the early waves of European immigrants into American cities.The plight of the working families in the mill village, their daily joys and disappointments, and the governing call of the mill whistle are all brought vibrantly to life through Morland's words, creating a powerfully detailed snapshot of an American subculture that no longer exists. Huntley's new introduction assesses the lasting importance of Morland's telling case study. The volume is further supplemented with a 2002 interview with Morland and his wife detailing their experiences with the ""Kent"" research and including photographs from the period.
