A wonderful snapshot of Maidstone's industrial past. And it is always nice to hear people like the Goachers talk about their passion for their product.

Thanks for watching, so glad you enjoyed it. I was a privilege to be able to preserve some wonderful memories of Maidstone and share the Goacher family story.

As someone who has lived in Maidstone all my life, a long time, I thought that this film was brilliant. I also support local industry by drinking in the Rifle Volunteers sometimes so well done the Goacher family.
