Sheep and lambs in a field, 1981
Taken from the garden of the house called Mill End, these animals would have belonged to John William Sankey, who lived at Rosyth, Church Hill, Kingsnorth until his death on 12 February 1979 at the age of 83. His daughter, Myrtle, who also lived in the same house, is remembered through a small housing development known as Myrtle Court, which was built at the bottom end of a field, near Kingsnorth crossroads. Mr Sankey employed a shepherd who lived at 1, Mill Hill Cottages.

Rosyth was named after a stallion he owned that won the Schweppes Gold Trophy in 1963 and 1964 and came second in 1965. To his horse-owning friends he was known as Uncle Jack (taken from Kingsnorth Parish magazine March 1979).
