Looking for history of Shootfield House
« on: Wednesday 11 April 07 22:16 BST (UK) »
Would anyone know where I could find  the history or any photos of "Shootfield House" which is in Sundridge Sevenoaks.  My great grandfather was the coachman there in 1891 and I'd like to know more about the place where they lived.

Hi Canada

There is a description (unfortunately no photo) on the Images of England site:

http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/

You will probably need to register and log in to view the details.

Hi Canada

Again not much but something:-

http://www.theweald.org/P2.asp?PId=Sd.ShootHo

Gives the 1881 census details

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4161/is_19991205/ai_n14497528

Gives arcticle on Adam Faith and Robin Cook!

Search on the A2A site gives you the Centre for Kentish studies who apparently hold the map and plans of the estate on which Shootfield House stands.
