Does anyone have access to the above register, who could check who lived in the Oastie Cottage of the The Oast, Fairbourne Manor, Fairbourne Lane, Harrietsham, Kent, ME17 1LN?

Understand it was residential accommodation, possibly for the oast or The Fairbourne Manor but have been told it was also used as a mushroom shop at sometime.

Here's hoping. :-)

Possibly the cottage was not residential in 1939?

Any ideas for finding out about the mushroom shop run from that cottage? This would have been from 1940 onwards. Have been t
old there used to be a Mushroom Farm close by.

Try contacting the Harrietsham History Society - perhaps they'll be able to help:
