Out of the Dark Ages....

The Tonbridge Historical Society website is worth a gander; I'm not sure how long it's been around, whether it's fairly new, or, God forbid, did I miss it? There seem to be some good piccies of the town as well as some good stuff about its history of the town and it's people and businesses. I would say from the fact that the site's Tonbridge People page contains only 3 entries suggests that it is still in the early stages of being built because I'm pretty sure that there are at least twenty fairly famous folk with links to the town. The Jane Austen one seems to be a little tenuous since, as they state on the site, there is no evidence whatsoever that she ever actually came here, despite having relatives from the area. Anyway it's good to see that the society, which, maybe understandably, has a rather crusty and fuddy duddy image, has finally wrenched itself out of the Dark Ages and into the Twenty First Century....
