As you can see the right hand finger has been replaced for one without the road number. The road straight ahead is Ninn Lane. text/html 2005-11-06T15:12:18GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.146986 0.850919 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/74848 Viewed from one of the pleasant walks in Victoria Park (which has a famous ornamental fountain), these are the flat blocks in the Bailey's Field area. text/html 2005-11-06T15:08:22GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.146637 0.865197 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/74845 Shown on a rather dull Sunday morning, this street used to be the main A20 from London to Folkestone / Dover. Now lined with all the usual stores, there is a bandstand to the right of the photograph. text/html 2005-11-06T15:01:39GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.138698 0.821814 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/74838 St Mary's Church overlooks this village, just outside Ashford, from the greensand ridge. The main street used to be the A28. The village was bypassed in the 1980s. text/html 2005-11-05T18:12:15GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.076853 0.775214 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/74481 This picture shows the road junction at the bottom of the grid square. Front Road to the left goes to the village centre and Bethersden, whilst Lower Road on the right goes to Shadoxhurst and Ashford. text/html 2005-11-05T18:08:53GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.067872 0.774677 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/74478 This was built as a road-house on the B2067 in the 1930s. It is a twin pub with the rebuilt Duke's Head in Hamstreet (see picture for TR0033). Plans have been submitted several times to turn this into a residential home (2005) as Woodchurch already boasts two public houses. Let's hope this one can hang on in there as a pub... text/html 2005-10-31T23:20:49GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.065809 0.860201 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/73056 Snow has been a relatively rare occurrence in this part of the Southeast, but this view of Main Ride in Hamstreet Woods could be enjoyed in early 2005. text/html 2005-10-31T22:42:40GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.136953 0.893191 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/73025 The line from Folkestone can be seen to the left of the four track 186 mph rail link. Ahead this leaps over the line from Canterbury on a mile-long viaduct. The tower blocks of Ashford town centre can be seen on the horizon. text/html 2005-10-31T22:37:32GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.129024 0.849812 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/73018 The tenement blocks shown are typical of this 1960s housing estate which was built primarily for the London overspill. Current regeneration plans (2005) involve demolition of the old flat blocks so this may soon be a scene from the past. text/html 2005-10-31T22:31:09GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.128675 0.864085 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/73008 First it was the B2070, then it was the A2070, now it is bypassed and just an unclassified traffic-calmed suburban road. text/html 2005-10-29T16:31:11GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.065459 0.874454 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/71975 This photograph is taken half way between the two villages near Meadow View. The B2067, being a scenic, undulating drive, even has its own website with many more pictures at http://hometown.aol.co.uk/hamcopublishing/b2067.html text/html 2005-10-29T16:26:07GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.075138 0.846499 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/71973 The village of Hamstreet spreads across the parishes of Orlestone and Warehorne. Orlestone today is just a tiny hamlet at the top of the clay hills. The view is of Romney Marsh which is totally flat. As you can see from the horizon, the photo is very slightly crooked. text/html 2005-10-29T16:18:38GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.092752 0.861864 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/71966 You can just make out the bridge where footpath 552 crosses ahead. text/html 2005-10-29T16:12:37GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.083421 0.875568 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/71962 The busy A2070 is cleverly hidden in this pastoral scene. Before the new road was built Capel Rd crossed the railway line via a level crossing. It now bridges both the road and rail conduits from Ashford to Hastings in one fell swoop! text/html 2005-07-10T16:19:22GMT http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/624 Adam Colton 51.073735 0.903521 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/25572 This public house is located right at the western edge of the grid square.
