Description

The following review appeared in ‘Bygone Kent’.

Pauline Stevens had lived in Lower Halstow for more than forty years, and in this labour of love it appears that she has persuaded most of the village’s inhabitants to commit their memories to paper for the benefit of others.

All the minutiae of a century of community life are recorded here; the floods, Scout and Guide activities, the fates of those who fought in two World Wars, problems with water supply and sewage disposal, fund-raising events, buses, school treats, the birth of triplets…

From Roman times until the mid-nineteenth century agriculture provided employment for most villagers, but the population began to grow dramatically (from 121 in 1801 to 508 in 1871) with the coming of the brickworks.
