Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
Its 1965 and I'm a 5 year old boy living in Tonbridge. Now, there was or still is a large white house almost opposite a green near to where there used to be a cinema. Can anyone else remember this house, what it was (children's home etc?) and the summer fayre held there? In 1965 I was taken there on the bus and saw the red Dalek from the Peter Cushing 'Dr. Who' movie and rode on a mechanical elephant.
Can anyone else remember this or does anyone have any photos of the fayre?

Our house was at the end of the private cul-de-sac. "Rustwick".. Lived there until we moved to Brisbane, Australia, in 1967. I well recall climbing the Rocks, and the Penny Candy Store?.. I recall the sherbet filled wafers "Flying Saucers", ... always a treat! Great memories, a wonderful place to grow up - safe, yet great for exploring! Greg, Long Island, New York
I was 10 years old when we lived in Rusthall and all I remember is Lynda at the corner shop where we would pinch penny sweets - sorry! The huge rocks with toad rock, he was amazing and the council estate right behind the lovely ones in your photo - that's where I had most fun. I'm 36 now and living in Manchester and this is where I belong! I wonder if anyone from there remembers my family - here goes...Paul and Linda had Lisa and Catherine and twin baby boys Thomas and James.
