I have just been been talking about Kent with a local solo group.
Did anyone live in Kent (not the area of the outskirts in London) during the 1950 up to early 1970?
If so I would love to know what you thought of the county at that time and some of your experiences.

‘Nostalgia, so much for these old eyes!

I was born in Ramsgate in1948, so I think I qualify? I lived there until around 1953, then returned for school summer holidays to stay in my nan's guest house through to early 1960's (nan's house has been flattened and the whole area turned into a car-park).

Ramsgate was very popular with Londoners for holidays, the lights along 'the front' and harbour were great. I still have a soft spot for the town.

You aren’t alone Bohemian as my childhood home, a hotel that my father owned, is now an old people’s home. Also my junior school, not far from the hotel, has gone. In fact the quiet Kent I grew up in has certainly gone. That is the reason I started this thread.
