    Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.

  • Past and Present
    BOROUGH GREEN PAST & PRESENT Train at station CHAPTER ONE Early Life, Folks and Fauna Borough Green is situated around the junction of what is now the A25 and A227. This was the origin of the hamlet, an ideal spot for wheelwrights, blacksmiths and inns. The Roman Military Way Westward was the forerunner of the A25. Traders and merchandise from Gravesend proceeding to Tonbridge and beyond were the source of the A227 route. It was formed as a civil parish under the Kent Review Order of 1934. Prior to this it was part Wrotham and part Ightham and it is in their records that some history can be found. Its name has had various spellings over the years – Barrow Green, 1575, 1587, Boroe Green 1594, Burrough Green, 1697, Burrow Green, 1713. The exact source of the name is unknown. The original parish of Wrotham was divided into six boroughs, Town, Stansted, Nepicar, Winfield, Roughwaye and Hale. It is thought that Borough Green was the site for games and sports for the area, not a village green, but a “Borough Green”. Another theory is that it was Barrow Green, of which there is some evidence. A further theory is that it was Boroe Green from the Anglo Saxon for a place of refuge. A number of Roman cinerary urns were unearthed on Barrow Field, off Staley’s Road in 1839. On a farm, belonging to a Mr. Biggs at Borough Green, some labourers came upon a cinerary deposit, about the year 1839. Several of the urns were taken home by an old man working on the spot, but as this act was followed by bad luck or ill-health, he buried them in the garden.

  • SNODLAND C.1740-1854
    PAPER No. 003 THE PAPERMAKERS OF SNODLAND c.1740-1854 Updated 2016 Dr. ANDREW ASHBEE This paper has been downloaded from www.kentarchaeology.ac. The author has placed the paper on the site for download for personal or academic use. Any other use must be cleared with the author of the paper who retains the copyright. Please email [email protected] for details regarding copyright clearance. The Kent Archaeological Society (Registered Charity 223382) welcomes the submission of papers. The necessary form can be downloaded from the website at www.kentarchaeology.ac 1 THE PAPERMAKERS OF SNODLAND c.1740-1854 ANDREW ASHBEE Preamble There are already two excellent studies of Snodland Paper Mill1, so it may seem presumptuous to add a third. Between them Alfred Shorter2, Michael Fuller and Kenneth Funnell have thoroughly researched the surviving records and there is probably little more to find in official documentary sources. It is very regrettable that the extensive Snodland Mill records, which had survived the devastating fire of 12 August 1906, were all pulped in the mid-twentieth century before they could be examined by historians. So this paper turns rather to genealogical sources concerning the early owners and papermakers, which reveal a fascinating web of connections between people and places. The arrival of the Hook family in 1854-5 makes a suitable end; they took the Snodland mill into expansive and profitable development. Papermakers seem to have moved regularly from mill to mill and Snodland mill (like many others) was often but a stepping-stone for both owners and employees. Movement between local mills is of course to be expected - and there were many in the Maidstone area, but so far as Snodland is concerned there are also strong links with the principal papermaking area in England: the Wye valley in Buckinghamshire, where more than thirty mills were active in the early nineteenth century.
