The Reds in Bygone Days

Many of our readers will know that the Nutten family played a significant part in the local sports scene for much of the twentieth century. Now, Chris Nutten has very kindly scanned through his family photo archives to locate some fascinating pictures of Whitstable Town FC dating back to the 1930s and possibly beyond.

Even if you are a "non-sports" reader, you will want to take a close look at the background of one of the photos.
