The second week of August 1929 was a difficult one for the Aylesham miner/ farmer relationship . I have a theory but I’m not going to share just yet. I want to see if you come up with a better one.
I got to know many recurring characters as I read , the East Kent Coroner, Mr W. Rutley Mowlis. kept on his toes by Aylesham all summer, the Rev. Carter was ubiquitous, I found him a bit of a busybody- but I’m rethinking that – Perhaps a hasty judgement.
Look for other recurring characters from the inquest and all the heinous trespassing and apple stealing reports I will be posting- It will be our own version of Where’s Wally.
I’ll post some more Dover Express reports for that week over the next few days.
A small thing niggling me about the inquest reports-
Why does Mr Campbell query my dad on reports of miners drunkeness appearing in the local press based on dad's evidence?. I have nothing .According to Kent library- Dover Express was the only local paper in 1929. Have I missed another source?
