Elham, Kent
Elham (pronounced Eel-um) is a village and civil parish in East Kent situated approximately south of Canterbury and north west of Folkestone in the Elham Valley. At the 2011 Census the population included the hamlet of Ottinge and village of Wingmore. History Toponymy The origin of the village's name has always been a matter of argument. The village is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ''Alham''. The suffix "ham" is derived from the Old English "ham" meaning "homestead" or "hamm" meaning "meadow". The village may be the ''Ulaham'' referred to in an Anglo Saxon charter of 855 AD in which case the name means "homestead of a person named Ula". Indeed local legend has it the large chalk foundation stones of the Palace of Ula can be seen in the cellar of Flint Cottage. Another possibility is that the name originates from the presence of eels known to be found in the Nailbourne centuries ago. *To note an eel was caught in the Nailbourne by Tim Elgar in the nineteen se ...

Elham Valley Railway
The Elham Valley Railway was a line connecting Folkestone and Canterbury in Kent, England. It opened between 1887 and 1889 and closed in 1947. The line was originally proposed by the independent Elham Valley Light Railway Company in the mid-19th century. After the project was cancelled owing to financial difficulties, it was revived by the South Eastern Railway who were competing with the rival London, Chatham and Dover Railway for railway traffic. The scheme was complicated by the imposing geography of the Elham Valley and the construction of two significant tunnels. The southern section from Cheriton to Barham opened in 1887, with the northern section to Canterbury opening two years later. The Elham Valley Railway was never commercially successful as it passed through predominantly rural areas. During World War II it was appropriated by the War Department who used it for defence, including a large rail-mounted gun stationed on the line. After the conflict, the line passed ...
