Travelling People / Re: Ash tree lane,beacon road, gillingham kent gypsy encampment

Hello, sorry to bump this thread. I've become interested in my family tree and this came up whilst searching. My Grandmother is listed in your post. Caroline (AKA Cassie). My great-grandfather was William (Bill) Kemp. From what I've been told he owned the land where the camp was situated. The council tried to buy it for years and eventually he sold on the condition that his wife would remain living in a bungalow there until her death. Other families were re-housed, near the White rd estate. I have a few pictures of Bill and a few others who I'm not too sure of. Sadly, I've never seen a picture of my grandmother. Thank you for this thread, such a lovely feeling when I saw all those names listed.
