Whitstable Windmills
Brian Smith

Most of us can name two and some of us can identify three.... but Brian discusses eleven! The article explains the different types and functions.

 

Disappearing Countryside

In this section we focus primarily on Whitstable's countryside and  feature articles and material kindly provided by Brian Smith.

Some of the features and names have long been lost in the mists of time. However, others are either still visible or continue to be celebrated in the titles of modern roads and locations.

Whitstable's Old Field Names
By Brian Smith

Brian maps almost 200 old field names and discusses the fascinating origins of some of those titles. 

Some of the names may be familiar to you by way of modern street names... or even the house names deployed by the Sir William Nottidge School (Torrith, Sedberry, Coppins and Minters)

 You can join in by providing any information that you have come across or detailing modern usage of the names.
