If your ancestor or a family member was in the Kent Police the Kent Police Museum site is worth while looking at. It has a history of the Kent Constabulary from its formation in 1857. Photographs of some of the orginal stations and some 90 photo's of Police Constables, some from the late Victorian times.
Tonbridge (Kent) Historical Society.
Tonbridge History has hundreds of photographs of Tonbridge from the early Victorian Times onwards. There are also articles and much more, such as pages from the Headmaster's Log of events at St Stephen's Boys School in Waterloo Road, Tonbridge, with entries covering the school years 1884-5 and 1885-6, pages from the 1914 Almanac published by the Tonbridge Free Press, the town's local newspaper, listing significant events in the town between December 1912 and November 1913, plus two advertisements and a telephone directory. There is also an interesting series of maps that show the developement of the Town from the 1700's to the present. A site that provides a lot of free information, photographs about the area and its people.
