Catalogue Transfer Project Temporary closure of Kent Archive and Local History service at the Kent History and Library Centre, 9-26 December 2019 Work on phase 1 of our Catalogue Transfer Project by staff and volunteers is now drawing to a close. This means that we have now almost completed typing up and uploading all of the outstanding paper catalogues that predated the introduction of our electronic cataloguing software and its online counterpart. In total, we have completed typing up almost 500 archive catalogues. The next phase of this project is to enable readers to order documents directly from our online catalogue. In 2017, Kent Archives launched its own website and integrated catalogue, enabling readers to find out more about our services and collections all in one place at www.kentarchives.org.uk. Making our collections orderable Some of the rare books held in Kent Archives’ local history collection that require catalogue online will involve checking all of entries to be created, as well as packaging, barcoding and locating, prior to being orderable on our existing online catalogues for our online catalogue. errors in the structure and arrangement of the entries, which if uncorrected would prevent our users from being able to locate and identify relevant records. We also need to produce catalogue entries for our extensive local history collections, which have previously only been partially listed on the Kent libraries catalogue. -

> g s J> ° "^ Q as : F7 lA-dh-**^) THE EVOLUTION OF THE STEAM LOCOMOTIVE (1803 to 1898.) BY Q. A. SEKON, Editor of the "Railway Magazine" and "Hallway Year Book, Author of "A History of the Great Western Railway," *•., 4*. SECOND EDITION (Enlarged). £on&on THE RAILWAY PUBLISHING CO., Ltd., 79 and 80, Temple Chambers, Temple Avenue, E.C. 1899. T3 in PKEFACE TO SECOND EDITION. When, ten days ago, the first copy of the " Evolution of the Steam Locomotive" was ready for sale, I did not expect to be called upon to write a preface for a new edition before 240 hours had expired. The author cannot but be gratified to know that the whole of the extremely large first edition was exhausted practically upon publication, and since many would-be readers are still unsupplied, the demand for another edition is pressing. Under these circumstances but slight modifications have been made in the original text, although additional particulars and illustrations have been inserted in the new edition. The new matter relates to the locomotives of the North Staffordshire, London., Tilbury, and Southend, Great Western, and London and North Western Railways. I sincerely thank the many correspondents who, in the few days that have elapsed since the publication: of the "Evolution of the , Steam Locomotive," have so readily assured me of - their hearty appreciation of the book. rj .;! G. A. SEKON. -! January, 1899. PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION. In connection with the marvellous growth of our railway system there is nothing of so paramount importance and interest as the evolution of the locomotive steam engine. -
Annual Report
http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society •ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR 1966 ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31sT DECEMBER, 1966 Council presents its One Hundred and Eighth Report, and the State- ment of Accounts for 1965. OBITUARY It is with the greatest regret that Council records the death of Mrs. Nancy Piercy Fox, which occurred on 30th March, 1966. She had been a valued member of the Society since 1936, and a member of Council since 1953. She occupied a foremost place in the field of excavation and, from 1955 to her death, conducted on behalf of the Society a full investigation into the problem of the Iron Age in Kent, a most valuable addition to knowledge by which she will be especially remembered. A Fund has been established by the Society to her memory, by the gift of £2,000 from the Keston Field Club and Dr. E. V. Piercy Fox, for the publication of archmo- logical research, an object in which she took a very close personal interest. A full obituary appears in this volume. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The Annual General Meeting was held in the Museum, Maidstone, on 14th May, 1966, the President in the Chair. Council's Annual Report and Statement of Accounts for 1965 were received and adopted. After the luncheon interval, an audience of eighty members and their friends heard a most interesting lecture by Mr. C. R. Councer, F.S.A., embodying the results of his recent researches on the Dissolution of the Monasteries in Kent. -
The Rectors of Pluckley, Kent, for Upwards of Six Hundred Years
http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 85 ) THE RECTORS OE PLUCKLEY, KENT, EOR UPWARDS OE SIX HUNDRED YEARS. BY THE REV. FRANCIS HASLEWOOD, E.S.A. THE benefice of Pluckley, being one of the most valuable pieces of preferment in the patronage of the Archbishops of Canterbury, has been held by many noteworthy men who have distinguished themselves at the Universities, and sub- sequently displayed considerable literary talents. It never- theless seems strange that only one of the goodly list of worthies was elevated to a bishopric, and another attained a deanery, and in both instances these distinctions were conferred on men of our own times. 1281. JOHN DE LYMTNG is the first Rector mentioned in Arch- bishop Peckham's Register, from which it appears His Grace admitted him at Lambeth to the Church of Pluckley on January 26th, 1281. As the benefice was then vacant, there must have been Rectors serving the parish prior to that date. Though Pluckley is mentioned in Domesday, it seems from Purley's History (i., 226) that there was no church there at that early period; Pevington, however, within the parish, was provided in this respect. The same Archiepiscopal Register records the citation of the Rectors of Great and Little Chart, Pluckley, etc., in 1282 for refusing to be present at celebration of orders ; and also that the Archbishop ordained at South Malling in September 1285 an acolyte, one Nicholas de Plukele (Add. MS. Brit. Mus. 6062, f. 51 b). -

Broadway Slip, Pluckley Road, Charing, Kent Design and Access Statement
Outline Application Submission – Broadway Slip, Pluckley Road, Charing, Kent Design and Access Statement Introduction This document forms part of the outline application submission for the development of the land adjacent to The Old Corn Store, now otherwise known as Broadway Slip, to provide three new dwellings consisting of 2No. detached, three-bedroom chalet bungalows and 1No. two storey detached four-bedroom. The existing site is a dense tree lined strip of land positioned between The Old Corn Store and the Grade II listed Broadway Cottages. The vast majority of these trees are located outside of the site boundary and are believed to either be owned by the Local Authority or the land owners around the site. Existing Site The application site is located on Pluckley Road, Charing, approximately 0.5 miles from the centre of the village. The site is clearly defined with timber post and wire/mesh fencing to all four boundaries and measures approximately 2300 sqm in area. Site access for maintenance is via an existing temporary gate serviced by a drop kerb. The site boundary/gates in this location are set back approximately 4.9m from the edge of Pluckley Road. 1.0 Site Location Plan The application site, which was formerly part of the gardens to The Old Corn Store, has become scrub land in more recent years and is disused by the owners and can reasonably be defined as an infill site with clear definition of the residential curtilages of the adjacent properties continuing across the rear of the proposed development site. 1 Broadway cottages to the north-east of the site are a pair of Grade II listed late 18 th century – early 19 th century cottages, finished with timber weatherboarding and a hipped clay tile roof. -
