Built up over the years from old glass plates of Casstine, a Hextable photographer of years gone by, pictures copied from libraries, recent photos and photos donated or loaned for copying by villagers, it has been of interest and a source of research and a record of the village history, as I hope it will continue to be in the future.

Just some of its pictures were used to illustrate the publication "Swanley Village Then and Now" by Major James Robertson, a much sought after limited edition book, sadly now out of print.

If you have any old pictures of the village, especially of buildings no longer the same and not in the collection, you may want to loan them briefly for inclusion.  Your photos will be handed back to you without damage.
