FIRST WORLD WAR CENTENARY
– CALL FOR INFORMATION
THE Eden Valley Museum will be marking the First World War Centenary
in 2014 with an exhibition focussing on the Home Front. They would
like to hear from anyone with information about relatives living
and working in the Eden Valley during the 1914 to 1918 period
or who left the Valley to go and work in munitions factories or
other vital services that supported the war effort and kept the
home fires burning. Any photographs or memorabilia from that era
would be an additional bonus. Please contact the museum on 01732
868102 or email curator@evmt.org.uk and one of the exhibition
organisers will contact you.

A Short History of Hospitals
and
Healthcare inthe Eden Valley
A.D. 1075 to 2012
6 FEBRUARY
- 21 DECEMBER
Using
documents from the museum’s archives and stories from
local people we paint a picture of the development of healthcare
for the poor and sick of the Eden Valley. Cowden emerges as
a model village for the care of its rural population and Edenbridge
shows its 'metal' in raising the money to build its war memorial
hospital and the fight against growing bureaucracy for its survival.
Records from Hever demonstrate some healthcare that would raise
eyebrows today.
