Anne has spent a lifetime gift shops at Margate and other coastal towns to have a laugh at these brightly coloured cards with their of service to the community in many ways.

A card I have tried to buy on two occasions has gradually risen to £10 before I have had to give up. In July April Lambourne retired from MALSC, and I was invited along with staff old and new to an informal get together at the Malta Inn in Allington to celebrate the occasion. Although the Not all postcards under the heading Comic were of the saucy seaside variety.

  • The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken(
    ...................... - ..................................... = .................................................................... The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken( By DENNIS BAKER I HE home market was at least six times as valuable as the overseas market during the first half of the eighteenth century. The ratio could have been T much higher and one contemporary estimate even puts it at 32 to ~. Throughout the early modern period the vast bulk of this traffic concerned agri- cultural produce, for in I75o England was still a predominantly agricultural economy. 2 Marketing, nevertheless, remains one of the most neglected aspects of agri- cultural history? There is a dearth of suitable source material. We know much about the management of crops and livestock in the field, little about their journey beyond the farm gate. A thorough exploration of the various outlets leading from farm to consumer is a rare venture. More frequently we seek shelter in some terminological cul-de-sac like 'commercialized agriculture' or 'farming for the market'. Admittedly, in some regions the market outlets were few or fraught with hazards; such, for instance, was the difficult position of those who farmed the Midland clays, ill-drained and intractable. But others, more fortunately placed, could choose from a wide range of marketing possi- bilities; this held true, for example, over much of the eastern and home counties. The farmers of north-east Kent possessed a number of competitive advan- tages, but none more valuable than proximity to the markets both local and in London. This fertile belt of Kent stretches from Rainham in the west to the eastern extremities of Thanet, a distance of about 35 miles; it averages 8 miles or more in width.

  • The Origins of the English Pillow Lace Industry by G
    The Origins of the English Pillow Lace Industry By G. F. R. SPENCELEY N her pioneering analysis, 'ladustries in the Countryside', Dr Thirsk suggested that the key to the development of the rural industries which existed in England I between the opening of the fifteenth and the middle of the seventeenth centuries lay in the socio-agrarian environment which produced the requisite labour sup- plies. ~ For no matter how close the prospective entrepreneur found himself to supplies of raw materials and sources of power, or to ports and centres of compelling market demand, he could not establish a rural industry unless he could fred a labour force. Indeed, the impetus for the development of rural industry probably came from within rural society itself as local populations searched for additional sources of income to supplement meagre returns from agriculture. Yet this was no haphazard evolution. Rural industries tended to develop in a distinct region of England, in "populous communities of small farmers pursuing a pastoral economy based either upon dairying or breeding, ''~ for it was here that the demands on agricultural labour were relatively slight, probably spasmodic, and farm work and excess rural population could easily turn to industrial employment as a result. There was far less likelihood of rural industries developing in arable areas, for arable agriculture exerted heavy demands on labour supplies. In Hertfordshire, for example, a small outpost of the cloth industry had died in the sixteenth century because of a switch to arable agriculture which, in the words of local magistrates, provided "better means" of employing the poor in "picking wheat a great part of the year and straining before the plough at seedtime and other necessary occasions of husbandry."4 Subsequent investigations led Dr Thirsk to suggest that if"an industry was to flourish on a scale sutticiently large to support a specialized market of repute.., it had to be able to draw on a considerable reserve of labour.

W. ROLLESTON MYTHS & LEGENDS OF THE CELTIC RACE CONSTABLE - LONDON [8] British edition published by Constable and Company Limited, London First published 1911 by George G. Harrap & Co., London [9] PREFACE The Past may be forgotten, but it never dies. The elements which in the most remote times have entered into a nation's composition endure through all its history, and help to mould that history, and to stamp the character and genius of the people. The examination, therefore, of these elements, and the recognition, as far as possible, of the part they have actually contributed to the warp and weft of a nation's life, must be a matter of no small interest and importance to those who realise that the present is the child of the past, and the future of the present; who will not regard themselves, their kinsfolk, and their fellow-citizens as mere transitory phantoms, hurrying from darkness into darkness, but who know that, in them, a vast historic stream of national life is passing from its distant and mysterious origin towards a future which is largely conditioned by all the past wanderings of that human stream, but which is also, in no small degree, what they, by their courage, their patriotism, their knowledge, and their understanding, choose to make it.

If they attended school at all they would have gone to a School run by a charity or religious society, a Dame school, a Sunday school or even a workhouse school. Evidence for the education of girls before the 19th Century is scanty but the Emery’s Charity School in Meppershall was teaching girls to read in the late 17th Century (P29/25/1).

From the Chairman Tessa Towner, Chairman. It hardly seems possible that we are almost at the end of yet another year, and by the time you read this I expect your preparations for Christmas will be well under way. It has been an eventful year, starting with all of us full of optimism having been successful with our Heritage Lottery Fund bid, but then came the disappointment of being unable to find a suitable archivist to carry out the work. We are now hopeful that it will be third time lucky and we will be successful in finding a suitable candidate from the next lot of applicants; so far there have been ten and as I write there is still a week to go before the closing date. Hopefully we will be able to make a start on the project in the new year as planned.

I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year celebration; it’s hard to believe it is almost the end of January as I write. It was with great sadness that I learnt of the death of Roy Murrant our first Chairman (see page 16) last November. He was a great friend and will be sorely missed. This year sees the end of our Heritage Lottery Fund project to catalogue the Rochester City Archives, and I would like to acknowledge the dedication of our members involved with this project, with of course many thanks going to Valerie Rouland the Project Archivist. Without all her hard work the project could not have been accomplished, and she has now moved on to pastures new (see The Clock Tower . Issue 25, February 2012). For FOMA the project has been a great learning curve and I think we all found out something we didn’t know about the history of Rochester.
