AUGUST 1969 - PEMBLE AND TOLHURST NAMES FAVOURED

Capel parish council is to offer its own suggestions for naming the two roads on the new Gough Cooper estate at Sychem Lane in Five Oak Green.

At its meeting on Monday the council was told that the developers had suggested the names Bramling Road and Canberra Close but Mr E. G. Coleman. the clerk, said neither name had any particular local association.

He thought Pemble Close and Tolhurst Road would be more appropriate since they used the names of two families connected with the parish council since it began in 1891.

The names are being sent to Tonbridge rural council for consideration.
