During the recession in 1990s several beggars appeared on the streets of Sevenoaks.
Mainly young men with dogs sitting at their feet.
Also mention was made that the trains for the channel tunnel would use the local line.
During some 'after pub activity' someone bent a hand on the Bus Station clock.
Several months passed before being put back in action again.
'Sevenoaks a Changing Town'
The residents of
Sevenoaks, are due for a
thrill
Now they've widened the
tunnel, down at Tubs Hill.
Freight trains rattling by
throughout the night,
we hope no one gets too
much of a fright.
Will the High Street be full
soon of young men on the
ground
With their cute little dogs
all begging a pound.
The bus station crowd look
up to see
One hand of the clock
bent to quarter past three.
No crumpets and butter for
Miss Peasbody anymore
'Til the bus station clock
once again reaches four.
