Baby

The body of a newly-born female child was found tied up in a parcel beneath some bushes in a hollow on Martin Farm on Tuesday 28 March 1911.

It was found by a 12-year-old schoolboy that lived in Prospect Place, Mating, tied up in a parcel in some bushes near the farm between 5.30pm and 6pm whilst he was gathering violets from a bank in a gravel pit by the farm just off the road from Martin to Deal. The boy had been with three other boys at the time.
