SEVENOAKS THEN AND NOW

Although the majestic oaks which once defined the town - and featured in the town's motto 'Floreant Septum Quercus - May the Seven Oaks flourish' - have been replaced over the years, Sevenoaks retains strong links to the surrounding natural landscape in its many country estates and houses. In this intriguing new collection of past and present images, Phillip Burgess has created a valuable comparative record of change in Sevenoaks. This book contains valuable historical information for those who want to know more about the town in which they live and for those who long for memories to be evoked by images of the past.
