Dartford

In the 1950 and 1951 elections, a young woman called Margaret Roberts was the Conservative candidate in Dartford.

The Dartford warbler, he said in the course of conversation, had unhappily long been extinct in the county.

At Dartford, one of the collectors had demanded the tax for a young girl, daughter of he who is known to history as Wat Tyler.

As a matter of fact, he was not to be found, for he had gone by the very earliest train to Dartford to see Mr. and Mrs. Brett.
