All Otford Society Members are invited to our Annual General Meeting at 7.30pm on Tuesday 29th April (doors open at 7pm) in the Otford Village Memorial Hall. The meeting will include refreshments and a talk by Rod Shelton entitled “In the Beginning”. This talk traces the earliest origins of our Darent Valley. How did it come into being? What where the animals and peoples it once supported. The history of the river and the industries that once thrived along its banks – the origin of paper-making in England – the birth place of so many inventions and industry. Amazing! Yet today the Darent is little more than a stream and its water is running dry. Why? It’s a fascinating story so come along and find out more.
