Louise Reddington from Swanley Village has sent us this exciting piece of history. While finishing off renovations at Elm Cottages she removed all the old floorboards from the lounge and found this message in a bottle. She has scanned the original so that she can frame and display it but will return the original to where she found it along with an updated version of her own.
A really exciting find and a window back to life in Swanley Village nearly 150 years ago. The beautiful handwriting is of an age gone by. Some of the family names are still resident in the area. If you are related to anyone mentioned do contact us [email protected]
