Herbert Kingsford

Herbert Kingsford

Herbert Kingsford (1862-1911) was a baker and poet born in Wingham, Kent. He had 2 sisters called Edith and Ada. During his life he wrote well over 70 poems and one, 'England January 1980', which has similarities to the book "1984" by George Orwell and talks about how by 1980 there will be strikes, very little food that is grown in England and how foreign workmen would take over from English. 'Some English wheat and apples sweet, he thought, there'd surely be, But he found these simple articles came also o'er the sea.'
