We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia .
We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Daffodil Pickers, Hoo St. Werburgh, 29th December 2015

Image Details
Temperatures in December 2015 were significantly above average for the time of year, meaning that the daffodil crop, normally expected in around March, was ready for picking just before New Year's Eve. Having started at the end of the field closest to the camera, you can just make out where the pickers have reached.
The Sheppey Crossing is just visible across the River Medway.
