Hello Trevor, I am currently researching for a coastal memory community project on the isle of Sheppey and it would be great to talk to you about your archive and online photo collection. Give me a shout at your earliest convenience.

I'm a grandma in the US writing a family history for my grands. May I use the picture of Shurland Hall and one of Eastchurch, please. Not commercial, just personal.
Many thanks!

Dear Trevor, I recently found your website relating to Bell Farm Holiday Camp in Minster. Last week I added a few of my own memories of my childhood spent down there.
I have just come back from visiting my 103 year old mother who has quite a few photos of Bell Farm, especially the raucous nights in the Club House as well as a few photos of some of the regulars…..Stan and Dais for example.
I would like to know if it is somehow possible to add these photos to your collection.
I could copy them to you with added comments, or can I scan them directly to your website.
Any assistance would be most grateful.Regards John Callaway……jemsis@hotmail.co.uk

Have completed my book 'The Glorious Days of MUSIC HALL & VARIETY THEATRE in Kent's Seaside Resorts.' By way of thanks for giving me permission to reproduce your Hippodrome photo I would be happy to send you a copy of the book. Just need an address.

Hello Trevor. My grandfather, Charles Kay, produced and performed as the wicked Baron in the 'Babes in the Wood' pantomime at the Hippodrome, Sheerness in March 1912. He also appeared at theatres and halls in Whitstable, Herne Bay, Ramsgate, Deal, Dover, Folkestone and Sandgate. I am currently writing the history of all these theatres and the artistes that performed in them. Your photo of the 'Hippodrome Buildings Broadway Sheerness' would be ideal for use in the book. May I have your permission to use this illustration?

Hello, Trevor. Thank you for the photographs. I don't know much about Sheppey but I spent a wonderful summer at the Cliff Edge house in Minster back in the fifties. A couple of weeks respite from the drudgery of the East End courtesy of the Country Holiday Fund. Cliff Edge was run by a kindly gentleman. I wonder if others on here were transported there for a summer escape. Good memories, however brief. themoundofsusic[at]protonmail[dot]com

Hi Trevor, would love to send you some of our photos from the Isle of Sheppey where I grew up but do not know whether you are interested as my mails have not been recorded in this or other lists. I may have done something wrong when sending them. PLEASE HELP

Hello, calling in from Pennsylvania. I was born at the Minster hospital and attended Delemark school in the mid 1950s. My dad manned the big guns on the island before going off to Burma. My mother worked at Bon Marche before joining the army. We have four generations who worked in the dockyards, three of them at Sheerness, and two as Chief Foreman. I'm very much enjoying all the information. Many thanks.

It may interest you to know that my father owned a steeplejack/steel chimney firm in the 50s. He took me as a boy on a couple of occasions to this place. I remember all the red hot bottles and the grime. I assume that he was involved in some way with the possible supply of steel chimneys to this company. It is ,therefore, possible that the steel chimney shown in your photos is one of his. He could supply diameters up to 10 feet as well as narrow ones. As boys, my brother and I used to climb over and through a lot of horizontally stored examples which were in his industrial yard. We traveled all over the country.My father even fell off a very tall brick chimney he was dismantling(not in Canning Town) and crashed through an asbestos roof onto bales of soft material and got up and off them and continued his work.My mother has seen him climb up a chimney, go over the top, and emerge from a door at the bottom with his shoes smoldering. The fire inside was not quite out. Those were the days!Safety issues? What safety issues!!!

Hi Trevor, Thank you for your hard work putting your postcards/photos on this site. I have found your postcard of 'Kiddies Paddling Pool Sheerness', after a long time of searching the internet.My claim to fame is that I am the girl playing with my younger brother in the middle of the pool. I have been searching for this as our copy was lost many years ago.

Hello, My name is Maria from New Zealand. My gg grandfather was sited as a innkeeper at the Kent Arms when he passed away in December 1893. My mystery is something happened with this family in 1870, they were all called Darrell then they changed their name to Spillett. After Richard Spillet died his wife Frances changed her name back to Darrell. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. Many Thanks Maria

Hi Trevor, Ive come across your site whilst looking for information on the primary school in Bluetown in the early 1970s and then Lady Anne Cheyne in the late 1970s/ early 1980s. It would be lovely to see any pictures you may have. Many thanks
Guest 17-Nov-2017 08:19
A recent incomer to the island, I was looking for images of the '53 floods on Sheppey, when I came upon this site. It's a truly outstanding resource and a document and collection of genuine social importance. Many, many congratulations and my thanks to you for taking the time to assemble it.
Paul Skelton 13-Nov-2016 15:20
I am not sure if you are able to help me in my quest, but I am researching all the pubs in Kent and have put all my research information on my web site at www.Dover-Kent.com I notice that you have quite a few photographs of pubs on you site and are seeking permission to add them to the relevant pages of my site. If you have any, with information regarding them, please let me know and I'll continue the research making everything available for anyone who is interested.

Dear Trevor, I am researching the area around West Minster and in particular the Queenborough Lines. I am an architect and I am working on a planning permission for the site between Brielle Way and Cromwell Road. At present I am putting together a Heritage Statement to look at the impact of the proposal. I would very much like to use your photos of West Minister to give persons reading the application some idea of the Housing was knocked down. Equally though i have all but searched every page of your collection (even the bits that bear no relation, its a great archive) but did not see any photos of the Queenborough Lines. Do you know of any? Your Help would be appreciated. I have just included in my report, pictures of my Grandfather fishing the Stokes Bay Lines, Gosport, Hants, where I grew up, being very similar to the Lines on Sheppey. Id be happy to share these with you if you were interested.

J have several 19th. Century photos of Sheppey which may be of interest. M G-G grandfather, Robert Palmer was at Parsonage Farm, Minster, chairman of the Sheppey Board of Guardians and his youngest son William farmed at Groves Farm, Eastchurch, before leaving due to flooding. My mother was born at Minster where her parents were assistant Master and Mistress at the workhouse/hospital (Cliff House) until 1917. When my mother was 5 they were posted to Epping.
Peter Wallace 14-Sep-2015 14:02

Howard 27-Jul-2015 19:06
Hi Trevor, what id anything do you know about a pub called the Oddfellows Arms, the publican was one A.J. Hooker between 1913 and 1938. It may have also functioned as a halfway house for women during that time

Hi Trevor
Would you be able to confirm if the Halfway House pub on Isle of Sheppey was used as a bareknuckle fights venue in 18th & 19th centuries. If so could I please have email permission to use your photo of it taken in what it looks as in the 1930's. Of course there would be an acknowledgement in any publication I might use it in. Thank you.

Hi Trevor, what a fantastic collection of pictures and information you have compiled. I have cycled along Sheerness promenade many times with my dogs and neice and nephew in recent years and it is really interesting to see how it has evolved over the years. Thank you for a wonderful site I will be recommending it to my friends.

Hello Trevor , my great grandfather was a shipwright /diver at sheerness dockyard during the late 1880's , he died ( in the workhouse infirmary ) in 1912 , he has been commended a few times for bravery and was presented to king Edward v11 . I realise its a longshot that you may have a photograph of him , but I need to ask . his name was Robert Shadrach Jenkins 1833-1912 . thank you

Hi Trevor.
I have recently come into possession of an old photo of my dad, now 80, pictured outside his barracks in Sheerness, circa 1958. It was a poor photo which I have brought back to life, sort of. Looking at your pictures, I would say it is Garrison 003. I am happy to share the photo with you for your collection, but als wondered if you have any other pictures of the barracks in your collection. My dad was in the army for 16 years, this is the only photo I have of him from that period. One last thing, is this building now part of the Steel Works. Looking on Google maps, looks as though it is!
Regards,
Mick.

I have also just finished a booklet on a brief history of the clubs first 120 years, which includes a few old photos. There was an aerial photograph of the Botany Road ground which the club had on the front of their programme for a while. Does anybody know if this photo exists anywhere, as I would love to include it in the booklet.

Hello Trevor, I am researching my family history and have found that according to the 1901 Census, my G G grandparents, George and Alice Halsey were Licensed Victuallers at the Wheatsheaf Inn, Eastchurch. On looking on the web I discovered your site and the two photos of the Wheatsheaf. I should be very grateful if you would allow me to attach the older photo to my Ancestry Family Tree and also possibly email it to my son. He would be interested as he used to be assistant manager at a pub in Sittingbourne.

George and Alice's daughter Lizzie Halsey married Albert Henry Andrews (my
G-grandparents), also from Eastchurch so I think I may have a few distant relatives in the area. It has been fascinating to see old photos of places mentioned in the various census records - very many thanks.

Regards Beryl Matthews
Paul Stark 24-Jan-2011 00:41
Hello Trevor, could you help me please? I am trying to research my mothers family. She was born on sheppey in 1916, Ina Kathleen Rosetta williams. She had 2 sisters; Dulcie Eileen grace Williams born 1913, Thelma Pauline Mary born 1924, 1 brother; Maurice Richard Tracy Williams born 1911. My grandmother (Ina's mother) was Grace florence Watson born 1888 sheerness, kent. My grandfather (Ina's father) was charles Edward Williams born 1885. I would really appreciate any help as my mother died when I was a child and I have only recently been able to trace anything about her past. I have other information about the Williams and Watson Families that I am very happy to share. Thanks and very best regards, Paul.

My name is James Walker and I am a community development worker who is running an arts based community project in Leysdown over the next 6 months, which will involve some photography. I was hoping that we could discuss using some of your pictures of Leysdown in years gone by to compare with some of the new pictures that the young people take during this project. The final production of the project will be a gallery event held at the Leysdown Hall with all the pictures on display and a running website that will also display all of the photos. We would give full credit for any of your work we used and could also include a hyperlink on our completed website to your galleries. If you are interested in this please contact me on either 07581311427 or james.walker@swalecvs.co.uk
Thank you

Hi my name is Pat and my dad used to own the Warden Bay Hotel. He was Dave Connolly and my brothers John and Vic used to work there. I met my husband Fraser Lawson at the Warden Bay Hotel when he was resident drummer at the Island Hotel. He used to play pool at our place. Fraser and I were maried in St Clements Church. Fraser Rod and Terry were the band at the island hotel. I have pictures of the hotel as well. I remember Ricky James singing but cant place his face. I imagine he sung with Eric and Clayton. Sadly my mum and dad have passed away now also both my brothers and can you bellieve my lovely husband Fraser two years ago. I now live in Cardiff. I remember Stan Northover well and Frank at the Island Hotel. Great to see all the old photos

Hi Trevor
Fantastic pictures of the Kingsferry Bridges. I've got many fond memories of the lifting bridge from childhood and it's great to see all the pictures of it and it's predecessors. Thinking back it's hard to believe that the first time I went over the lifting bridge it was only a few years old and the height of "modernety" but has now itsself been replaced. Having made a special journey to drive over the new crossing when it opened - I have to say the dear old Kingsferry will always be the way on a and off the island for me - but it's great not to have to be stuck in a traffic jam. Thanks for all the hard work you must have done in getting the pictures together and evoking so many fond memories.

Hi Trevor, I just left you a message as a guest, but I'm not sure it got through, so have now registered & am trying again! I live at Banks Terrace on Sheerness High Street (by the Queen's Head pub)& cannot seem to find any photos of it. I wondered if you know of, or have any pictures of it anywhere. Also, I'd be very grateful if you would let me download a couple of early shots of Edward Street (Broadway) & that shot of the Holy Trinity & Kent House from the water tower roof. Kind regards, Antony
Michele Ryan 06-Apr-2010 14:27
Hello Trevor, great web-site and hugely informative. Is it possible to use your photo of the postcard of gun-wharf and fort in Sheerness in my family history file? My great-uncle, Edward James Jary, was a stoker there ("Naval Barracks - Tender to Wildfire" as stated in 1891 Census) and I would appreciate some pictorial interest on his page! Perhaps you have something more relevant that I have not yet found...
Anyway many thanks for putting together such a great archive,
kind regards,
Michele

My Uncle - along with the rest of the crew - were killed flying out of RAF Eastchurch on 4th June 1940. The Blenheim they were flying in is reported to have crashed in a field in front of Shurland Hall. I would be grateful for any further information about this incident.

I wonder if anyone out there knows of a lady who was Mavis Harden of Coronation Road, Sheerness. She went to school with my cousin Jean Mc Farlane at Sittingbourne Girls Grammer School in the 1940's. I would like to know what happened to her. My e-mail address is leslie@neaves.me.uk. Thank you.

well done trev.
Les Neaves 11-Oct-2009 21:37
Great photos Trev.
I was born in Sittingbourne and went to Sheerness Technical School 1942-1945. It is a pity it was knocked down any idea when that happend?
This July I visited Sheerness and saw the indoor swimming pool which replaces the old outdoor one.
I now live in Pontypridd, South Wales and we have a derelict pool in our lovely park. So I have put a letter in pur local paper telling to visit Sheerness and see what has been done for the people of Sheernees.
Any photos of the old and the new pool at Sheerness?

Best regards

Clive12-Feb-2009 09:25
Found your pages through a link from somewhere. Have spent several days pouring over the photos of Sheppey and have had a great time. Can you help - one of the photos (Rose St. school Pageant circa 1962) was sent to you by an old friend of mine with whom I lost contact - David Booth. Please send him my email address or send me his as it would be good to get in touch with him (last time was 1986). I will dig through my old pics over the coming weeks and send you some. Although I've lived on and off in Caerphilly since 1977 I still have family back in Sheppey. Cheers and Be Lucky
Lee Scott 11-Feb-2009 02:50
Thankyou Trevor for the massive effort you have made in helping to preserve Sheppeys pictorial history. It brought back so memories from my childhood and teenage years. The place was and always will be unique in its flora, fauna. weather patterns and of course its inhabitants.
I so wish there had been a playwright living there In the 50's and 60's, they would surely have been inspired to write a series like 'Vicar of Dibley' about the vast amounts of 'characters' that roamed Sheerness and Queenborough especially.
For many people, Sheppey has some strange magnetic force that keeps bringing them back and this year will be my 11th trip home in 36 years. Before I leave I will look through my 'nostalgia' trunk and dig out some old photos to add to your collection.

Trevor Edwards10-Aug-2008 10:40
I leave comments in many peoples guest books or on their pictures.
I have no control on what anyone does. I'm not even sure where Mark Reeman's galleries are. A link to his little area would have helped.http://www.pbase.com/markreeman
If he has done what you say he has done, then I feel a great sympathy with his wife and daughter. But, as I say, all I did was leave a message. I don't know him or his family.
You need to take up any grievances you have with him. Only the PBase owners can remove his section from the site.
Guest 10-Aug-2008 10:14
Morning Trevor,
You do not know us but we thought that we'd let you know that you have been in contact with Mark Reeman in the past and that he has been imprisoned last month for child sex offences and is serving 12 years for these sick acts, the worse thing about this is that he did these acts on his own children. If you can help in closing down his gallery if this can be done then we should do everything to stop him from persueing his enjoyment as he's ruined his own family's for years and years to come.
Sorry for anyone who reads this but the more people know about this the better, please spread the word about this to anyone you know, the more people know about MARK REEMAN the better.
We've tried to leave other messages on his guest book but he has now hidden all messages until he reads them, so he is now hiding the truth from everyone, need we say more.
Please see if you can get him banned from this.
Thank you for your help on this matter,
The Kennedy Family.
Thank you.
Guest 28-Jul-2008 10:39
Hi Trevor. You left a comment on Mark Reeman's profile some time ago. Felt you ought to know that he has recently been jailed for 12 years for child sex abuse - his own child. If there is anything you can do to have his profile removed from this site and/or other sites, I would be grateful. Thank you.
john mummery 13-Jul-2008 13:39

I will sign up when I have more time

Hi there, I am a researcher from North Carolina. I was wondering how I can get your contact details.

Hi Trevor,

Looking at your photos I am amazed to see a photograph of a fairground machine taken in the Sheerness Amusement Park / Zoo in the 1950's. This photograph offers me a mine of information about a machine that I now own and am in the process of restoring.

The photo in question is taken from high above and behind the machine in question, I wonder do you have or know where I could find a photo of this machine taken from the front as I am currently unable to find any images showing the machine from the front.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Hi Trevor, thanks for taking the time to view some of my work. I love the 20D and will keep it. Bought the 5D and am amazed at how wide, wide really is? Extra Mpixels makes some difference in detail but not always obvious. Both have exceptionally low noise at high ISO. Check out some of my ISO1600 shots. If I had to have one... I would probably go 20D + good glass for the saved $. Regards, Bob

Hi Trevor
Thank you for the kind comments regarding my 350D Shots, and for giving me the opportunity to look at your great galleries. I still have a lot to learn about DSLR but am slowly getting there. The only drawback is the want of better lenses and keeping the cost a secret from my other half!
The photo you mentioned is called 'House in the Clouds' it was a water Tower being fed by a Windmill, which is also still standing in a plot next door. The house is let as a holiday home, there is a web site for it.
Suffolk is wonderful for photography, so much atmosphere around the coast.

Hi Trev, thanks for the kind comments on my images. Regarding the one you asked about, no I didn't take it...but you should see that particular engine, it has a tree growing right through it just like you see in the image, quite awesome it is when you think of the time it's spent there corroding it's way into the twilight of it's life. Glad you liked my pics. Malcolm

Hi Trev. I was just wondering if there are any relatives to my grandfather, John Griffiths, Photographer, still living on Sheppey. His photo's pop up in all the publications on Sheppey. His last daughter Phyllis has just died aged 92. So our branch of Griffiths's has died out. Margaret

I was born on the island in 1967, and lived there until I was 28, your pictures bring back memories of a lot of things I had forgotten. Your efforts are appreciated.

I want to thank you for posting these pictures on the web. I was born in Sheerness in 1972 and I moved to the states when I was 3 months old. I am now 32 and have traveled to Sheerness many times to visit my Nan and Aunts. My last trip was during Christmas 2004. I will be returning in 2005. Sheerness is my home away from home and it's the place I go to to get away from it all. Your pictures help with my "home sickness" in between trips. Thanks for making these pictures available on the web.

I am fascinated by your gallery.I help to run Sheerness heritage Centre in Rose St Sheerness, which is an early 19th century cottage in which we have tried to show some of the history of Sheerness.We have lots of pictures of the bridges and wondered if you would allow me to print the pictures of the new bridge under construction.

Good heavens, 23,000+ hits! How long did you have that photo on display?
Maybe someone's got link's to it to advertise a vacation spot or something.

On a more serious note, lovely photos of the English countryside. Visited your isles a couple of years back and didn't get much opportunity to see the smaller towns. Thanks for the tour.

Thanks for your very nice message about my English Towns & Villages (mostly south west). I certainly would like to explore the south east especially having seen your pictures and particularly those of houses around Kent. Wonderful work. There are just so many places to visit here in this beautiful country.

Hi Trevor,

Thank you very much for leaving me a massage on my PBase, I was beginning to wonder if anyone out there liked my photos. Well at least I have one fan now.

I had a look around your PBase and I like what I saw very much I loved the flowers and noticed that some of them I have also taken similar sots of. May be this is why we like each other’s photo's? As for the Devon and "Cornwall" shots you took me back to memory lane with the ones of Buckfast Abbey, Mum & Dad were always taking me there. Great Shots.

I'm quite home sick. I now live in Huntingdon and only go down to visit my family really never getting the time to re-visit these places. Sad really. I lost my Dad just before Easter so it's only Mum and my two brothers to visit now.

All the best with your photography and I will visit your site often to see what's new.

Dear Trevor,

I was born in Sheerness in 1942 and left for career purposes in 1960. I am now living in Melbourne, Australia. Your photographs brought back many memories and whilst Sheppey has changed a lot since my time (I have been back several times), it is the past that stays with me. Many thanks for helping me to keep those memories alive.

Kind Regards,

Maurice Majurey

Dear Trevor,
I like very much your country, and your job is absolutly fantastic to appreciate the beauties of England : old stones, green countrysides, cottages, old steam engines and so on... I have stored a lot of your photos. I hope you understand my very bad english. Thanks for sharing and sincere congratulations.

eddie 22-Dec-2003 17:23
hello. i was interested in the pictures of Buckland, as i am trying to trace the location of a cottage that a holidayed at over many years in the 70's during my childhood.
all i can remember is that it was detatched, but was on a private drive entered by gates, leading i think to a place of some importance, maybe a manor house or something similar.
The cottage was called ' GREY COTT'.
i have a feeling that it could have been maybe originally dwellings ( albeit substantial) for employees at the 'manor house'..?

Definately Buckland and not upper Buckland of that i'm sure.
I haven't a clue how we managed to rent it or even come across it, as i dont think that it was a 'holiday cottage' but that was done by my mother.
I have a feeling the lady who owned it had a german connection somewhere.....
Please see if you can think of anything as i would love to take my young Son to the place where i went to.
Thankyou very much - merry christmas.

I am surprised you like the 5 Dollar gallery judging by the quality of your own efforts, however I do accept the comment!!! CoffeeCam is limited to candids and I see you also have some on your site. The one of the guys face reacting to the girl...post a link to that on thecandidboard.com!!!!

Hi Trevor,

I stumbled across your gallaries whilst looking for old pictures of the Kingsferry Bridge. I am involved in the project for the new bridge and am currently preparing a presentation to put the councilors and public on past, present and future bridges. I was wondering if you would contact me with regard to possibly using some of your pictures.

Thanks

Thanks for your kind comments in my guestbook. I have just ordered a Nikon 5700, having been an Olympus user for about 30 years. Your gallery helps reinforce that decision to switch.

I liked your 'Dirty Boy' picture. I resolve to turn the camera away from the machinery and onto the people more at steam gatherings:-)

It's good to see some UK location shots - this site seems to be full of pictures of the US West Coast or Hong Kong. I'll keep an eye on you.

Really very nice galleries, Trevor. Thanks very much for your kind comments about "Chelsey's 2003" gallery. She is a wonderful young model with a great future ahead of her.
Jesse Hernandez29-Dec-2002 19:54
Trevor, I really enjoyed your pictures...you have a good eye for composition and color. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by my little pbase corner. In the future, try and size down your pics to 800x600 so they're not so huge and everyone can open them and enjoy them...that's a good enough size to make out detail. You're already added to my favorites list so, I'll be checking back periodically. Take care,
Jesse

Trevor, thanks for looking by on my gallery. Wow! You did go overboard on the shots! Mind you, I also took about 90 digital images as well as the slide. Just haven't had the chance to put the digital ones on Pbase yet. (I've added a horse film shot in the Z1 gallery, btw.)

Happy snapping!
