“The Silver Jubilee was a huge event, there were so many street parties happening all over the place’’
Scott Wishart
Hop Garden Road - June 1977
Street parties and celebrations took place across Tonbridge as the town celebrated Queen Elizabeth and her silver Jubilee. Anne Clement remembers street parties from that summer and subsequent jubilees, whilst Scott Wishart recalls long hot summers and childhood memories from this North Tonbridge street.
