Hi I’m looking for an old friend Clare Mitchell who went to the secondary school between the years 1986 & 1991. I have so much news to tell her about. We were best friends at the time and have lost touch. I would be so grateful for any information. Fab website, so much information and so colorful

I am trying to find any information about the HUKIN family who once lived in the Sandwich area. At one time the family ran the "Coach and Horses" pub in Eastry (now a restaurant). I am particularly interested in a Raymond Charles Richard HUKINS (at one time Sergeant 401553 in the 3rd Kings Own Hussars now the Queens Royal Hussars(Queens Own & Royal Irish)). Any information would be appreciated. My E-mail address is: erniefosker@AOL.com
Thank you.

First of all great compliments for these wonderful websites with a beautiful layout!
By chance I found these pages during I tried to find informations about a very likable person I met in 1979. We were in contact by letters until nearly 5 or 6 years. His name is Simon Sheen, he would be about 44 now and he used to live : 34, Peak drive, Eastry, Nr. Sandwich, Kent. In 1984 he moved to Nottingham studying politics.
He was in Germany with his friend Gus in 1979 visiting a family called "Müller" in Bevern. (I will never forget: "Remember, milk before the tea!") ;o)
Is there anyone who can tell me where he is living now?! I wonder what happened with him and I am really very interested to know what he is doing today!
It would be so great to get a message !!
With lots of kind regards! Jammie

It's been great to hear from so many people about my Dad, and the Secondary School. The initials SPS in Ian Field's message sparked some more remembering, and I thought particularly of the little swimming pool that was erected in the school garden, and Mr. Fox and Mr. Sage did swimming lessons for us. And keeping the gym equipment in the air raid shelters. By the way both my Mum and Dad taught at SPS after the war, that was where they met. My Mum was Miss Taylor then; and now my cousin (also Miss Taylor)is head teacher there - nice. Did any of you go to the Cycling Proficiency classes run by Mr. Smith (Margaret's dad) and Mr. Penfold in the Cattle Market? We had old fire hosing from the fire station which we laid out to show where the road was, with a proper junction and everything. We wobbled our way holding onto the bike desperately with one hand doing right and left turns, falling off and grazing knees and elbows on the ripply concrete. And the white wooden blocks we had to weave in and out of without knocking into them. I was very sad in later years when they took out all the cattle pens, demolished the shed and made it all into a car park. They still have the cobbles outside the Guildhall though, and the buses still stop there. And the bit of road from the Guildhall, between what was Satterlys the chemist and Hambidges the bookshop that everybody knew, they have now called "No Name Street". I would have liked it to be called Satterly Street, just like they call streets after pubs or other landmarks.
