After moving from Preston Hall, Betts was forced into bankruptcy when the full extent of his involvement with the illegal financial arrangements for the London Chatham and Dover Railway became known. Neither his personal reputation, nor his reputation for financial propriety ever fully recovered.
Many of the benefits he had undoubtedly brought to Aylesford village and the surrounding area were later attributed to his successors, the Brassey family.
Was that because Victorian sensibilities wouldn't allow the locals to acknowledge benefits received from a "crook," or is it just the fuzziness of long passed history? Hmm. Rickedmo (talk) 08:24, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So, I've started by removing the subheadings - some of which were very short. Some may go back in later I imagine. I've also added some references where the links actually might work - some of the others might be usable. Some of the puffery has already come out; more needs to. Any one else watching this article at all? Blue Square Thing (talk) 23:34, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Pretty much done for now at least. It might benefit from a touch more detail added back in in places, but I'd rather have a shorter and more accessible article in place. Blue Square Thing (talk) 20:05, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
