Disappearing
Evidence So
many of Whitstable's landmarks and features of the past
have been wholly or partly forgotten... until we stumble
across a remnant of land that looks odd or a name that
raises our curiosity. At
that point, the memories flood back or we are prompted
to dig a little deeper into the town's history. In
this section we feature a number of articles by Brian
Smith that take closer look at some of those features of
bygone days. |

 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.
