Introduction
So how do you index a site that contains details of thousands of people, historical events that affected their lives, and up to date relevant news on Whitstable? The simple answer is that we didn’t even try to. Instead we update our search engine at every change, populate links into every piece about people, or places, or events so that you can follow your own path through the site according to whom or what interests you.
That is apart from this section. Here we chronologically index against decades so that you can get straight to the time period of your choice. As you go into any decade read through the world and national events as these will help you understand the political and economic influences of that period, before you go on to read about the specific stories that we have unearthered about Whitstable and its people of that time.
