Bygone Appledore

In this section we hope to give you a taste of life in Appledore as it was.

Today, Appledore is a very busy village, bowed, but definitely not beaten, by the vast numbers of cars and heavy passing traffic.  So for a while, we want you to browse Bygone Appledore and see that it was thriving, but also genteel and quaint.

Hopefully, you will get a feel for life as it once was lived here, on the borders of Kent and Sussex.
