If you love Canterbury as much as I do, you'll have to get your hands on a copy of Paul Crampton's new book "Canterbury Suburbs & Surroundings," you'll find it full of great old photo's (ones I've never seen) and loads of history. It covers places such as London Road, Whitstable Road, St. Dunstan's, St. Stephen Hackington, Northgate, Sturry Road, St. Augustine's, New Dover Road Area, South Canterbury and Wincheap. A great read for those of us interested in the history of the area and it's inhabitants.
