I googled your thread title and came up with this article -

http://www.kentonline.co.uk/kentonline/news/2010/july/28/kents_150-year-old_newspapers.aspx

The picture in the article is a copy from 1940 so I would assume that the Kent Messenger would have been in the 1950's as well.

I think the Medway News was around then too, it closed this year after printing for about 75 years
