Kent EPE
England’s Past for Everyone is a Heritage Lottery funded project involving communities across the country.
Authors and researchers are working alongside volunteers to bring local history to life, producing everything from books to exciting interactive websites and materials for schools.
In Kent there are two EPE projects. The current project focuses on the Medway Towns and from November 2007 to February 2010 we will be researching the history of Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham and Strood. We will explore the relationship between these communities and the river Medway from 1550-1900.
This new study stands alongside the research that Dr Andrew Hann and the Kent volunteers worked on from 2005-7 and which will appear in an EPE paperback book Life and Work in the Lower Medway Valley, 1750-1900, to be published in 2009.
History isn’t just about the dim and distant past, it’s happening right now. This is your chance to get involved in the life story of your community.
New book explores the history of life and work along the Medway
A new history of industry and community in the Medway Valley will be launched this month. Written by Dr Andrew Hann, ‘The Medway Valley: a Kent Landscape Transformed’ looks at the history of the area from 1750-1900.
