Introduction to Indices Issues 1 - 100
The accompanying pdf files list all the articles that have appeared
in 33 years of The Tenterden Terrier, from issue No. 1 in Spring 1973
to issue No.100 in Summer 2006. Letters appearing in these issues
are also indexed, for often they provide valuable additional information
to an earlier article: articles and letters are cross-referenced.
These indices comprise:
- Alphabetical (24 pages): Straight listing of entries in alphabetical order
- Author (36 pages): Listing by surname of author, sub-listed by classification
- Classified (36 pages): Entries listed subject classification, eg H F Stephens – biographical, sub-classified as appropriate.
- Letters (8 pages): Listed in alphabetical order, referring back to articles: if the same topic appears in several issues, there may be some duplicated entries.
These indices do not cover Lineside News, or its predecessors, nor do they cover the vast collection of photographs that have featured over the years, unless the latter make up a story article (often in the middle pages). If you want to know what was happening on the Kent & East Sussex Railway over a particular period, then delve into Lineside News at the time. To help you, indices have been produced over the years, covering the previous twelve, or in more recent years, nine issues of The Tenterden Terrier. These appeared as inserts to the journal. I hope to produce a combined detailed index from issue No.69 and publish it shortly, but those from earlier issues need re-inputting into a database, which I do not intend to do.
The accompanying indices have been compiled afresh, without reference to any other published sources. Classification of subject is down to the compiler’s approach and anyone else producing these indices would no doubt adopt their own classification: it is a subjective process! Entries generally omit the beginning ‘The’ and ‘A’ from an article title, unless these prepositions are essential. Upper and lower case letters may seem to be used indiscriminately but I have followed the entries in the journal.
Inevitably, mistakes will arise in compiling anything of this nature. They are of my making alone, so apologies if they cause difficulties. I will be happy to correct such errors, and will from time-to-time reissue a revised version. If you find an omission or error, please let me know by writing to me at -
