Kentish Gazette publication

Kentish Gazette

The newspaper that was to become the Kentish Gazette first came off the press in Canterbury in 1717. That makes the Kentish Gazette the oldest title within the Kent Messenger Group - indeed the second oldest in the country.

In 1942 its offices in St George's Street were bombed along with most of that part of the city in a devastating Luftwaffe attack. Amazingly that week's paper came out with a full report of the bombing thanks to the help of the Kent Messenger which allowed staff to use its unscathed offices.

The Kentish Gazette became part of the KMG family when it was acquired in 1980.
