Our thanks go to David J. Aggersberg for allowing us to archive and share his copy of this important social history document that covered Teynham, Lynsted, Norton and Buckland. You can read the text or download a PDF copy.
Mr Aggersberg is researching his Kemp family connections in this part of Kent - so if you have any knowledge of this family connection in or near to Greenstreet, Lynsted and Teynham please do let us know and we will pass this on.
In his covering letter (25th January 2010) David says - “I recognise several of the firms advertising in it. My aunt, the last member of the family to occupy 118 London Road, garaged her car at Brett’s and worked as shop manageress for W French at Barrow Green where, on occasions, I “helped” her. .... I can confirm that when 118 London Road was a working saddlers the shop was on the left of the building, as you face it, with a second door leading from the street. There was a dais in the back third of the shop which was still present when I stayed there.”
Mr Aggersberg hints at further family records of the Greenstreet volunteer ambulance which operated during the Battle of Britain - his mother drove it while his father (drafted in from London to assist a local milkman) was the mechanic.
The Society regards documents of key events and the personal stories that go with them to important to future generations and we will continue to collect them as visitors to this web site and our members discover new items to help the Society build “the tapestry” of Lynsted and Kingsdown and its surrounding countryside.
