Kent has had links with the mainland of Europe for a very long time, both through the migration of peoples and through trade. Nico Kerr, one of the editors of Kent Bylines, recently spoke to Sandy Fleming at Rainham News about those links in the village of Rainham, Kent, where he now lives.
He was keen to publicise EuroWalks, a programme of prepared walks highlighting local places with links to continental Europe. Recent archæological work on a development site on Rainham High Street has revealed the area’s connections with the Franks of what is today northern France.

Kent Bylines is keen to experiment with different means of communication. We have used music (Christmas Carols), poetry, cartoons, pictures by local photographers, short informal messages (coming up tomorrow on Earth Day), and linocuts by a local artist (coming up next week). Please send us submissions on current affairs in any of these formats!
