Maidstone I remember it well: I started my secretarial course in September 1963 and started at the County Supplies Department on Sandling Road in 1964 as a shorthand typist. Happy days but only stayed there for about a year before moving on to work for Kent Young Farmers in Oakfield House . Then on to Tilbury Bensted in Armstrong Road and Scottish Life Assurance in King Street before moving out of town in 1968. Moved to Slough in 1969 and never returned to Maidstone to live. Retired to Weymouth in 2004. I remember Miss Ayres now and also Miss McCabe. Do girls really go to the boys' grammar? Would not really see the need as there are two girls' grammars

Yes Girls go to the Boy's Grammer School in Barton road.More and more Houses more children more paces needed. They pulled down senacre School and built more houses and now children don't go to the nearest school they have to go to the school to be excpted. So now we have Buses going from New line Leaning (Cornwallis) Through the town to drop of the children . And all the buses are full between 3 and 4pm and the kids don't know about queuing. Les

Maidstone I remember it well: I was really taken with the lady that worked at county supplies dept Sandling Road. I wonder if she knew Eileen Goddard who worked I believe as a typist there. She was a friend of my mother at Maidstone when we lived in Old Tovil Road. My aunt Ivy Yates worked for Mr Benstead in Armstrong road during the '60's as well. What a small world if either of the above were known to Christina!
