Slide Collection, Gift to the KAS
Iain Foreman, (Visual Records)
The K.A.S. Visual Records Section has been given the collection of photographic slides which belonged to the late George Henry Kent, 1915 - 1993, via the Lamorbey and Sidcup Local History Society. This consists of some 9,000 slides taken around the South, South-East, and South-West Coast of England.
G. H. Kent was born in Fulham but for the greater part of his youth lived at 'The Limes', Bexleyheath. After a career which included that of a Metallurgist at Vickers Armstrong, Crayford, during the war years, he later went on to become a teacher and taught at Westwood School, Welling, and then at Wilmington until his retirement in 1979.
From his days with the scouts, he became a keen walker and walked many miles around the south coast line of England - hence the large slide collection now with the KAS. Iain Foreman, (Visual Records)
