Mocketts Journal 1836

Mocketts Journal of 1836 and the Memoirs of Thomas Pointer 1912 in Broadstairs Library (plus many other works of reference) started a long period of research into the history of Broadstairs and St Peters, particularly the lost hamlet of Upton that was situated midway between the two. Important research has resulted from this from which I have submitted articles for the Broadstairs Society, the Isle of Thanet Archaeological Society and the Kent Archaeological Society. I have also used Margate Reference Library and the Kent History and Library Centre at Maidstone but at 82 years of age I prefer to stay local now.
