    Brian Dixon,
    Your right, test bores were sunk in Lyden and part of the village itself was built as part of the government's plans, in 1925, to build 18 pits in Kent.
    Houses in Wingham, Woodnesbourough & many other villages flourished because of these plans.
    The fact is having coal stocks in Kent, along with its miners, has lead to creating and sustaining our heritage in towns and villages, up to and including the present day and I believe it is very important not to forget that fact.
    I also believe, still, having large coal stocks here in Kent will have a big influence on our future heritage as well. I don't think the story of the Kent Coalfield is finished yet.
