Baby

The body of a female child was found wrapped up in newspaper in an allotment off Station Road in Whitstable on Monday 28 March 1955.

It was found at about 10am on the allotment opposite 83 Station Road by a man. He said that he had not seen the parcel there on the Saturday when he went to the allotment at about 7.30am and that he first noticed it there on the Sunday at 7.30am but did not open it but that after seeing it there again on the Monday when he went to the allotment again at 7.30am he took a look and found that it contained the body of a child. He said that it was in the allotment and that he had to put his hands through some railings to get hold of it and that when he opened it he saw the face of the baby.
