Sharp Eyes in the Big Apple

This old photograph which appeared in the April issue was instantly recognizable to many as the bridge at Eynsford, one of Kent's best-known scenes. Its appearance prompted a phone call from Michael Barber, a resident of New York and a recently joined member of the KAS. Michael's maternal great-great-grandmother was said to have lived in the present day 'Tudor House' and he sent the Newsletter a photo of perhaps even earlier date than that previously shown, which normally hangs on his wall at the family home in New York. Michael was put in touch with the Farningham & Eynsford LHS, and inquiries have ensued over the occupation of the house. It is nice to know that the Newsletter has prompted such transatlantic correspondence!

A view recognized from across the Atlantic! Inset is out original picture
