Snippets of Tonbridge History....

Susan Adams of Susan Adams Business Services has very kindly just handed me a rather interesting piece of paper. On it, laid out very artistically, there are tantalizing snippets of Tonbridge's history such as 1920s: Motorised taxis replace horse-drawn cabs outside Tonbridge Station! ...and 1070: The Normans build a small church on the present site of the parish church. ...and 1870 until the 1900s a horse racing track operates in what is now the sportsground park. It's a lovely piece of artwork combined with a bit of local history. Come and have a look at it at Mr. Books or I'm sure Susan Adams will have some spares for you to have framed. I can't promise that they'll be free though!...
