I’m really excited to reveal the cover for my new book here today.

Sevenoaks, Riverhead and Seal in Old Photos and Postcards, will be available from Sevenoaks Bookshop, from me direct (email 7oakspostcardbook@gmail.com) and other places in town.

The book will be available in October and you can pre order from the bookshop by clicking this link https://sevenoaksbookshop.co.uk/shop/sevenoaks-riverhead-and-seal-in-old-photos-and-postcards-by-matthew-ball/

If you’d like a signed copy, then it’s probably best to order from me, although I will be doing a signing event at the bookshop later in October, when it will be great to meet as many of you who can make it – details coming soon!

If you live outside the UK then you can order from the bookshop by emailing enquiries@sevenoaksbookshop.co.uk and they will quote on postage.

The book is a culmination of over two years work, and includes photos I’ve used on this page as well as lots of new ones. It also includes many of your comments. If I asked to use your comment and you gave permission, then you’re in the book, so a huge thank you to those that did!

The book was also sponsored in part by Sevenoaks Town Council and Wealden Properties. Many of the properties that feature in this book were acquired and developed by Bill Terry and he was a popular and well-known figure in the community. Bill passed away in August 2023 at the age of eighty-nine, and I am pleased that Wealden Properties has sponsored the book in his memory

I can’t wait for you to buy a copy and hear what you think.

More book updates and news shortly!
