Thank you to all those people who have helped with old photographs and detail. Without this assistance the book and the Upchurch Collection just would not have been possible.

Special thanks to: Hamish Mackay Miller, Helen Osborne, Cllr Gerry Lewin, John McWilliams, Cliff Wanstall, Derek Wyatt MP, John  Robinson, Upchurch Parish Council, my wife Julia and children Samantha & Alex Gunnill but mostly the people of Upchurch village, for their special support.

The National Lottery, Awards For All Programme provided funds towards the publishing costs of the  first edition.
