Crime, Community, and the 60s: Reflections from the Front Line
Tue 8th Sep 2026 -
19:00 - 20:30
Talks
A former Maidstone officer recalls life on the beat in the 1960s and 70s.
Join Mick Abbott for a candid, conversational talk about what it was like to police Maidstone in the 1960s and 70s — the routine duties, the incidents that stand out, and how the town and the role both changed across two decades. An honest, grounded look at a period of local history rarely heard from the officer’s perspective.
