Description: Kent is well-known for hops, oysters, the Channel Tunnel and Chatham Dockyard, but sandwiched between these are towns and villages that each have a story to tell. The A-Z of Curious Kent takes you off the beaten track, to a world of daddlums and hufflers, gavelkind and grotters. While kingsand queens travelled the highways on their way to and from the continent, the people of Kent quietly defined the new order, defended the nation and left teasing reminders of a past that may never be fully understood.

  • Waterstones 50 Finds From Kent

    Price: £15.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Hemmed in by river, downland and sea, the archaeology of Kent has always had a reputation for uniqueness. So when the Portable Antiquities Scheme, an initiative to record objects found by members of the public, was launched in 1997, Kent was the obvious choice to become a pilot county. It did not disappoint. Kent has so far produced finds such the headline-grabbing, solid gold Ringlemere cup, a unique Roman Republican helmet -the only one ever found in Britain - and several Anglo-Saxon garnet-inlaid brooches. Not to mention the anonymous, wide scatterings of pot sherds, buckles, occasional lost keys and swathes of often indecipherable coins. Telling the history of Kent through its objects, every find in this book was discovered by a member of the public and recorded by the PAS. Each one helps us fit together a bigger, clearer picture of Kent's history, its people and relationship with the wider world.

    Price: £15.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Kent's military heritage is well known because of popular tourist attractions such as Dover Castle or Chatham Dockyard, but there are also many lesser-known sites dotted around the county, each with their own story to tell. Most of the sites included here date from the Second World War but there are also many military installations from other eras, from the eerie remains of the towers in the Thames Estuary to the magnificence of Fort Burgoyne. Kent: Britain's Frontline County examines the fascinating ways in which Kent has protected and defended Britain over the centuries. Local author and historian Clive Holden has carefully documented each of these secret gems and photographed them in full colour, giving the reader a wonderful insight into a lesser-known aspect of Kent's proud heritage.

  • Waterstones Portrait of the Kent Coast

    Price: £14.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Portrait of the Kent Coast is a photographic journey around the coast of Kent starting in the industrial north of the county, at Dartford with the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge spanning the River Thames. The journey continues on towards the Isle of Sheppey and the Swale Estuary. The shoreline gradually changes from mudflats and industry to shingle and sand and famous seaside towns. The Kent coast is also a key environment for wildlife particularly visiting wildfowl which use the mudflats, marshes and shingle beaches for feeding and breeding. The east coast of Kent changes dramatically to great white cliffs of chalk. These cliffs are a recognizable landmark for incoming visitors to the port of Dover. The south Kent coast is mainly made up of shingle beaches which stretch from Folkestone towards Dungeness which is where the journey ends. In over 140 glorious full-colour images, Andreas Byrne follows the great success of his previous volumes on Canterbury and the County of Kent, to offer a new perspective on the many facets of England.

  • Waterstones Kent's Strangest Tales

    Price: £9.99

    Brand: Waterstones

     

    Description: Kent's Strangest Tales is a book devoted to the weird and wonderful side of the Garden of England. Home to historically rich towns such as Canterbury, Margate and Ramsgate, Kent is a county with more strangeness than you can shake a strange-shaped stick at. From Chaucer's legendary tales of debauchery and naughtiness to Mick and Keef's very first meeting on a rocking 'n' rolling Dartford train, Kent has it all - coast, ghosts, castles, treasures, pirates, Britain's oldest highway and, lest we forget, the old lady who tricked the Luftwaffe. All the stories in this book are bizarre, fascinating, hilarious, and, most importantly, true. Perfect for Kent-dwellers and tourists alike, Kent's Strangest Tales is a treasure trove of the hilarious, the odd and the baffling - an alternative travel guide to some of the county's best-kept secrets that date back many thousands of years. Read on, if you dare! Word count: 45,000.
