I've just worked my way through this little book in no time at all, a chronological listing of various events from 600,000 BC to last year, lots of local subjects including the tunnel, the bronze boat, Ian Fleming and Noel Coward at St Margaret's (no mention of lamposts I'm afraid!) and lots of other stuff I'd never heard about.
Written by the manager of Waterstone's in Canterbury, Kent's Strangest Tales by Martin Latham, pub Anova Books, ISBN 978-1-907554-33-9, it's £7.99 paperback but I would think it could be reserved through the library.
