Sevenoaks Branch Talk: Lost Sevenoaks with Ed Thompson

The talk looks at the buildings and scenes of Sevenoaks that are lost to time but were captured in over 80 evocative photographs.

About the speaker:

Edwin Thompson was brought up in Otford. In the 1980s Ed began to collect old photographs and he started amassing pictures of Otford Village and then of Sevenoaks and the surrounding villages, eventually widening out to cover West Kent and East Sussex.

His collection continues to grow and many of his hundreds of photographs have been used in local history books.

Doors open 10.45am, meeting starts 11am.

There is a large public car park (payment required, 50p for 2 hours, £1 for 3 hours) adjacent to the hall but it can be busy.

No booking, just turn up.
