In order to investigate the impact of the South Eastern Railway on their community, they carried out research using records held by Kent History and Library Centre, Marden Heritage Centre and Parliamentary Archives. They worked in three groups to look at the effect of the railway in three areas: people, economy and landscape.
The group concluded the project with a trip to the Houses of Parliament, where they had a tour and a chance to consult records held by the Parliamentary Archives.
