Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 6: Medium of Inter-Communication for Literary Men, Artists, Antiquaries, Genealogists, Etc;; July December, 1858
The chiefest pastimes, next the old trade of Basket making, are the four following: Bowling at Rusthall Green, where fools lose their money, and knaves win it Dancing upon Southborcugh Green; Walking in the Grove where the Ring-doves coo above, whilst the lovers bill below and project all things in order to make them selves happy at the next merry meeting; and Gaming at the Groom-porters, where every one strives to win, whilst the box runs away with the money. Lodgings are so dear and scarce, that a beau is sometimes glad of a barn, and a lady of honour content to lie in a garret: the horses being commonly put to grass for the servants to lie in the stable. My landlord was a farmer, and his very out houses were so full that, having sheared some sheep, he abated me half-a-crown a week to let the wool lie in my bedchamber. The most noble of their provisions is a pack-saddle of mutton and a wheat-ear pie. Which is ac counted here a feast for a Heliogabalus, and is indeed so costly a banquet, that a man may go over to Amsterdam, treat half a dozen friends with a fish dinner, and bring them back again into their own country almost as cheap as you can give yourself and your mistress a true Tun bridge wells entertainment. The liquors chiefly produced by this part of the country are beer made of wood-dried malt, and wins drawn out of a birch tree: the tint is ia fected with such a smoaky tang, that you would think it was brewed in a chimney; and every pint you drink, ia stead of quenching your draught, begets a thirst after a gallon: the latter as 'tis ordered drinks almost like mood, and makes a man's mouth smell of honey.
