Kent / Re: Cocks Cottages in Aylesford, Kent
« on: Tuesday 21 February 17 17:09 GMT (UK)  »
Yes there was a brickworks and the village of Eccles (next village to aylesford) was built to house the workers around 1880. They were paid very well. And got drunk a lot, so much,  that there was a small chapel built to try and get them off the booze. There are still remnants of the brick works around. But that land is now earmarked for new housing so it will be lost forever in a few years.

Thankyou everyone for your help, my ggg grandfather was on HMS Caroline during the napolionic wars and must have been injured during that time, he came out of the navy 1815, and became a bricklayer. He died an old man in Greenwich navy hospital, their records said Puissant was The last ship he served on. X

This is the last ship my ggg grandfather served first half of the 1800s, but I can't work out what it says or any words of the rest of the document, totally unreadable. Can anybody help please.  :) the first word is the ship. the other words are of an injury to his left arm.

I remember seeing this photo on my nans sideboard when I was a teenager, of her mum Charlotte and dad Richard, she is sitting and he is standing beside her, she said her dad was fifty when it was taken and I remember saying he was good looking for fifty. So it must have been taken 1910.
