The second new page follows the story that Appledore once had a harbour. We know it was a port - but a harbour? See the story here https://t.co/RMHAU8fcbV

Appledore Kent has history that is endlessly fascinating. Just loaded three new stories. No.1 the story of Trebitsch Lincoln-Conman Curate of Appledore https://t.co/ZcsIS4TYgz

Andy's previous talk @1940Andy for ALHS was a sell out and took us through the history of a downed Messerschmitt near Appledore during the Great War https://t.co/JtNCIXuKWR. Andy has recently taken over the Editor's role at @IronCrossMag and continues his work on Military History

[ALHS, Kent @AppledoreHist]

Appledore Station is still active on the Marsh line. It has a rich history dating back to 1845 and whilst some way from the village itself, is still a popular and vital part of the community. Read about its origins here https://t.co/ehZcHtrAup
