Now, not only do we have lots of historical architecture here in the town of Tanbridge, we also have a rich variety of famous residents. Of course, everyone has heard of the famous writers James Harman, Anna Collins and Ian Cheriton.

James Harman lived here between 1975 and 1990. A bestselling horror writer, he got many of

his themes for his novels from this town. He passed away a year after leaving Tanbridge and he wasn't buried in the town.

Anna Collins is a romantic novelist. She lived by the town square. She died in 1968 and you can see her gravestone in Tanbridge Cemetery. Most people know Anna from her most famous work, The Pride of Angels, which won numerous awards.

Now, Ian Cheriton is not only a poet, he has also written ten novels that have topped the book sales charts. He always does a lot of work for local charities.

Lastly, another famous resident of Tanbridge is Sylvia Daniels. She grew up in Tanbridge. Now I am sure you all know her for her latest film Planet Dust. But she wasn't always an actress. Before she headed for Hollywood, you could have seen her waiting tables in the Dorage Restaurant here in the town! She often comes back to visit her family. If you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of her.
