The four-edition Express is based in the
centre of its core town of Ashford and also serves the Tenterden,
Romney Marsh, Hythe and Folkestone areas. The paper celebrated its
150th birthday in 2005.
The first issue of the Kentish Express’s forerunner, the Ashford
and Alfred News appeared on July 14, 1855 - a fortnight after the
Daily Telegraph made its debut. Ashford’s own newspaper had eight
pages and was Kent’s first penny paper.
