Influx of Vampires , Kent, 1910

On this site are some recordings of Kentish voices from 1958 (frustratingly short on introductory details, researcher interested in accent rather then social history) An unnamed miner talks about a traming accident, and pit ponies. The mine and the year aren’t given, althru he says the mine goes beneath Nonington church.

Also recordings of farmers from close to Aylesham( first I’ve found) talking about a farm like grandad’s-apparently before motorised transport- speaker and his Dad had to leave at midnight to get to market for 4. you can listen here-

Also a shocking, kind fascist-y article( example:'The influx of these vampires should be stopped") about hop pickers, Horrors of the hopfield(my maternal granny , a brixton girl , daughter of a washerwoman, whose men lacked stamina, they died or upped and went,would have been among them). And a report on a family of 9 hoppickers hit by a car. As in the story of ut the parson and the burning boy, we are not told the adults but not the childrens condition
