The lives of ordinary men and women were played out in front of this rich and varied backdrop, and Victorian and Edwardian Kent captures the flavour of this bygone era.
At the turn of the twentieth century, Kent was predominantly an agricultural county. The attractive villages, small market towns, coastal resorts and two cities - Rochester and Canterbury - were set in a county of contrasts, from the Weald to the coastal marshes, from the North Downs to the industrial development at Chatham and Sheerness. Over one hundred and fifty high-quality sepia photographs are complemented by well-chosen extracts from poetry and prose, fact and fiction. Everyone who knows Kent will be fascinated by this beautiful and evocative tapestry of a way of life which is now long gone.
