Allhallows-on-Sea

 

Allhallows-on-Sea …… people who don’t really know the place say this is a seaside resort that never really got off the ground.  Others say they’re delighted it didn’t because they like the peace and quiet and definitely prefer it the way it is.   Apparently the area at Avery Farm, just north of the village, was planned as a holiday area and in the early 1930s holidaymakers could travel there by train from Gravesend.   Nowadays the station has been replaced by a caravan park.   When we were children groups of us were always planning to ride our bikes to Allhallows.   I didn’t even have a bike but I joined in the general plan regardless.   How many locals remember the Gravesend train?   How many actually made the journey by bike eventually?

  1. The best part about the train trip was going through Higham tunnel, if you left the window down the carriage filled with smoke. On the other hand that long dark tunnel was wonderful when I started courting my girl.
