My family lived in Hawkinge during the 50's. My parents are Desmond and Margaret Stock. I have a sister Brenda and a brother Paulwho were born in the area in the early 50's and my sister Juliette and I were born in Swingfield inthe late 50's and the youngest sister here in Australia. Our eldest brother Christopher died whilst mum and dad lived in Hawkinge.
We emigrated to Australia in 1960.

IF you remember them and or would like more info on them please contact me. Dad reminisces alot about his time there and this would be interesting to follow up for him.



I enjoyed this website for the chance to see the places that the family talk about.

My name is John Tilly and I now live in Australia. I was born in Folkestone Hospital and lived at 42 Canterbury Road Hawkinge, just up from the then Mile Stone Café, form 1955 to 1972.

My grandparents Fred and Ada Bilzon lived at Uphill farm, whilst my Auntie and Uncle lived in Rectory Close; they all eventually came to Australia.

I have very fond memories of Hawkinge, but that's about all, unfortunately I have no photographs. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could possibly email me some.

As kids we would play in White Horse wood, ride our home made carts down White Horse Hill and just have great fun. Probably the most exciting time was when the Battle of Britain film was being made. The aerodrome was a buzz with activity and everything was tidied up, all the air raid shelters were cleaned up new wooden huts erected, it was great.

I could rattle o­n for ever, but, I don't want to bore you, o­nce again if you could email some pictures I would be greatly appreciative.

I would really love to hear from some village folk.

He's a few names etc I recall, Stephen Holland, The Hollands ran the butchers shop, Peppins was the news Agents, Andrew Close, Kevin Burns, Kenny Matcham, both these guys came from Millfield estate and went to Hawkinge Primary.

Tina Follett, Sharon Lynch, The Ashfords boys, John Alan and David, Their father ran the Taxi service o­n the corner of Areodrome & Canterbury Rd. Micheal Wisby, lived in Coombe Wood Lane, his father ran the Hardware Shop. The shop next to the Village Hall was the VG then became the SVS both sold supermarket type products, it was run by the Lynch family.

The Woodgates lived near the White Horse pub. The Halletts, Graham and Trevor were real close friends when I was at primary school.

I've lots of great memories that I would love to share with anyone who remembers me.

My eMail address is dtilly@bigpond.net.au

Best regards

John Tilly

I have only lived in Hawkinge for a few months so have only recently had time to sort the garden out. I was amazed to see what I thought was a Hummingbird in the garden, having never seen one before. I have since done some research and have found that it is actually a hummingbird Hawk Moth, has anyone else seen one around here? It may be that they are common in this part of the world and that my discovery isn't anything to get exited about.
