English County Identities

In the past year, county borders gained a new importance as suddenly these lines on a map decided if you were allowed out of your house or doomed to stay in.  

However, on this episode of Borderscapes, Katherine examines the meaning of these borders beyond the experiences of 2020.  

Having grown up in the Kentish countryside, she had always assumed that she didn’t have any kind of county identity. This was until her parents left Kent for a new life in West Sussex and she discovered a strange sense of disconnect with the county.  

Hence, this podcast is a hunt for her own county identity, as she attempts to establish what is different about her home county and finds out what it means to be Kentish.
