East Kent and West Kent are one-time traditional subdivisions of the English county of Kent, kept alive by the Association of the Men of Kent and Kentish Men: an organisation formed in 1913. The division may have risen from the ethnic differences approximately 1,500 years ago between the Jutish settlement of the east of the county and the Saxon presence in the west, although its origins are somewhat obscure. Residents of East Kent, those living East / south of the River Medway, are called 'Men (or Maids) of Kent', as opposed to residents of West Kent, who are known as 'Kentish Men' or 'Kentish Maids'.
According to the BBC website a few hundred years later, it appears that the Men of Kent resisted William the Conqueror more stoutly than the Kentish Men, who surrendered.
East Kent had its own Quarter Sessions based in Canterbury until 1814, when the administrations of East and West Kent were merged. East Kent, which corresponded roughly to the Diocese of Canterbury, consisted of the three lathes: Lathe of St Augustine, Lathe of Shepway and the upper division of the Lathe of Scray.
All three two-member constituencies in Kent were abolished in 1885: East Kent, Mid Kent and West Kent. They were replaced by eight new single-member constituencies:
Light railway is a railway built at lower costs and to lower standards than typical "heavy rail"; it uses lighter-weight track, and is more steeply graded and tightly curved to avoid civil engineering costs. These lighter standards allow lower costs of operation, at the price of slower operating speeds and lower vehicle capacity.
Narrow gauge
In countries where a single standard gauge is dominant, the term light railway does not imply a narrow gauge railway. Most such narrow gauge railways operate as light railways, but not all light railways need be narrow gauge. After Spooner's development of steam-haulage for narrow gauge railways the prevailing view was that the gauge should be tailored according to the traffic, "the nearer the machine is apportioned to the work it has to do the cheaper will that work be done". From the 1890s though it was recognised that cost-savings could be made in construction and operation of a standard gauge railway, "light axle-loads and low speeds, not gauge, are the first condition of cheap construction and economical working. Gauge is quite a secondary factor."Break of gauge now became an important factor and there was much concern over whether this would become an additional cost for the transhipment of goods, or whether this was over-emphasised compared to the amount of warehousing and handling needed anyway. The Irish railway system in particular became a good example of a broad gauge main line system with many independent narrow gauge, 3ft (914mm), light railway feeder branch lines.
Between London and the Strait of Dover, which separates it from mainland Europe, Kent has seen both diplomacy and conflict, ranging from the Leeds Castle peace talks of 1978 and 2004 to the Battle of Britain in World War II.
England relied on the county's ports to provide warships through much of its history; the Cinque Ports in the 12th–14th centuries and Chatham Dockyard in the 16th–20th centuries were of particular importance. France can be seen clearly in fine weather from Folkestone and the White Cliffs of Dover. Hills in the form of the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge span the length of the county and in the series of valleys in between and to the south are most of the county's 26 castles.
Kent was part of the Philipse Patent of 1697, when it was still populated by the Wappinger tribe. Daniel Nimham (1724–1778) was the last chief of the Wappingers and was the most prominent Native American of his time in the Hudson Valley.
The town was first settled by Europeans in the mid-18th century by Zachariah Merritt and others, from New England, Westchester County, or the Fishkill area. Elisha Cole and his wife Hannah Smalley built Coles Mills in 1748, having moved to that location the previous year from Cape Cod. Coles Mill operated until 1888 when it was submerged under West Branch Reservoir. Around this same time the northeastern part of the county was settled by the Kent, Townsend, and Ludington families, among others. The father of Hannah Smalley and his family moved to Kent about two years before Elisha Cole and his family.

SMaSH Beer Showdown - East Kent Golding vs. Fuggles
This week, we present to you a SMaSH hop showdown. John brewed up two beers in SMaSH format and challenged me to pick out the hop I prefer. He pitted East Kent Goldings vs. Fuggles trying to see if I would get tripped up.
Thankfully I didn't and still picked EKG as my favorite. We were both initially very surprised at the fruitiness coming off both beers in the aroma. Way more fruity that I normally perceive those two hops. We postulated that maybe it was a function of a little peach coming from the dried yeast US-05 (that's a common off flavor that creeps up from time to time with US-05).
It was admittedly difficult to pick between the two they both seemed so similar. I eventually pick the EKG as it seemed to have just a little something else in there that made it seem more "English...

A trip on the East Kent Railway!
A trip on the East Kent Railway on the 1st November 2020.
We arrive at Shepherdswell Station on the Dover to Faversham Line, we walk over the footbridge to the East Kent Light Railway, passing some narrow gauge rolling stock on the way. In the main yard we find a variety of industrial steam and diesel locos as well as a number of 08 shunters. We also see Thumper 205001, their newly arrived Pacers from Northern Rail and various EMU carriages. We enjoy seeing some of the model railways on display before we take a trip up to Eythorne behind 01530 in a First Class Mark 2 carriage. At Eythorne we see an electric loco and 210001, both of which came from the now closed Electric Railway Museum near Coventry.

Off camera, however, as the beers warmed up Fuggles really started to show their super earthy and grassy like aroma and flavor. It was borderline unpleasant. We both wonder if Fuggles is extra sensitive to oxidation once it was in the glass. Interesting Hop SHOWDOWN!
Cheers!
