A modern yet characterful property which forms part of an exclusive development of detached homes, Station Mews takes its name from and occupies the site of the former railway station which closed in the 1940’s. The plot has a 43’ x 39’ low maintenance rear garden, charming front garden setting the house back from the lane, parking and detached double garage. The beating heart of this home is the fabulous kitchen/diner which has been extremely well appointed in a farmhouse style with granite main work surfaces and an island with timber block work surface. The kitchen has French doors to the garden and leads to the separate utility room also with access to the garden. To the front of the ground floor is the dining room and dual aspect lounge which is spacious boasting beautiful views and a log burning stove. Also, there’s a downstairs cloakroom/WC. Upstairs are four good size bedrooms and family bathroom. The main bedroom offers en- suite facilities and built in wardrobes. The village of Elham is around 12 miles South of the Cathedral City of Canterbury and in the heart of the Kent Downs area of outstanding natural beauty. Village amenities include two public houses, restaurant, village shop, coffee shop, well regarded C of E primary school, children play area, village hall, doctors surgery and bus services to both Canterbury and Folkestone. Canterbury has a fantastic range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities and high-speed rail services to London. The property has oil fired central heating. Our Time Here Our home is situated in the village with attractive countryside views across the Elham Valley, providing us with a peaceful lifestyle. We can walk to the local store if we need to pick anything up and can enjoy a drink or meal out at the selection of pub-restaurants. Both Canterbury and Folkestone are an easy drive away, which gives us links out of the area on the high speed train to St Pancras. There is a school in the village and grammar schools nearby too. There are so many things we love about our home but the most impressive feature has to be that it is built on the original station of the Elham Valley railway, with the platform still visible. Our home has a lovely flow with fantastic social spaces, notably the open-plan kitchen and our large living room – they both open out through patio doors onto our garden. The access we have to the village, Hythe, Folkestone and Canterbury provides us with so many different lifestyles, entertainment and options for socialising. Although we live in the countryside we can wander along the beach easily or be in the bustling city, so we get the best of both worlds. It is lovely to see and hear children and families enjoying the countryside when we are walking around the area, everyone is so friendly and we feel like we have a never-ending garden on our doorstep. We are going to miss everything about living here as the location, our home and the people around us make for such an enjoyable atmosphere.

ARCHAEOLOGY A N D T H E C H A N N E L T U N N E L PAUL BENNETT with contributions from Rupert Austin, Greg Campbell, Richard Cross, Alex Gibson, Elizabeth Healey, Martin Leyland, Steve Ouditt, Richard Preece, Jonathan Rady and Steve Staines INTRODUCTION Three separate construction areas have received attention from the Canterbury Archaeological Trust: Ashford, where the inland freight clearance depot has been built; Dover, where a construction camp, offices, working areas and a shaft leading down to the tunnel have been constructed; and Folkestone, where the main U.K. terminal facilities, the tunnel portals and a length of 'cut-and-cover' tunnel are presently under construction. Negotiations with Eurotunnel for archaeological work connected with this, the largest ever privately-funded civil engineering venture in Europe, began at an early stage in the life of the project. A document containing all known information regarding sites of archaeological interest was prepared by English Heritage (November 1986)1 and these designated areas were assessed in the field during July and August 1987.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

  • Some Problems of the North Downs Trackway in Kent
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society SOME PROBLEMS OF THE NORTH DOWNS TRACKWAY IN KENT By REV. H. W. R. Liman, S.J., M.A.(0xon.) THE importance of this pre-historic route from the Continent to the ancient habitat of man in Wiltshire has long been recognized. In the Surrey Archceological Collections of 1964 will be found an attempted re-appraisal of its route through the county of Surrey. Although the problems connected with its passage through Kent are fewer owing to its being better preserved, there are some points which I think still deserve attention—the three river crossings of the Darenth, the Medway and the Stour; the crossing of the Elham valley; and the passage to Canterbury of the branch route from Eastwell Park, known as the Pilgrims' Way. It may be worth while, before dealing with the actual crossings, to note a few general characteristics. Mr. I. D. Margary—our most eminent authority on ancient roads in Britain—has pointed out the dual nature of this trackway. It com- prises a Ridgeway and a Terraceway. The first runs along the crest of the escarpment. The second runs parallel to it, usually at the point below the escarpment where the slope flattens out into cultivation. In Kent for the most part the Terraceway has survived more effectually than the Ridgeway. It is for much of its length used as a modern road, marked by the familiar sign 'Pilgrims' Way'. Except at its eastern terminus the Ridgeway has not been so lucky, although it can be traced fairly accurately by those who take the trouble to do so.

  • Notes on the Probable Course of the Roman Road from Lympne to Dover
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 62 1949 NOTES ON THE PROBABLE COURSE OF THE ROMAN ROAD FROM LYMPNE TO DOVER By IVAN D. MARGARY, F.S.A. THE existence of a Roman road connecting Lympne with. Dover is attested by its actual appearance upon the diagrammatic map known as the Peutinger Table. No traces of the road had, however, been identified, and the growth of Folkestone and its outskirts has now put much of the probable route beyond direct investigation. Some notes were put forward by the late S. E. Winbolt in his book Roman Folkestone (Methuen, 1925) as a tentative approach to the subject, and it was with a view to testing these on the ground that the present investigation was made. There is general agreement that the existing road along the old cliffs at Lympne represents the Roman road. East of Shipway Cross it bends a good deal and is probably an old ridgeway track rather than an engineered road, but there seems no reason to disregard it as a part of the route on that account. We thus arrive at the crossing of the Brockhill Stream, just at the western entry to Hythe, and it seems clear that the trackway is directly continued by an old lane, now in part only a footpath, straight up the hill north-eastwards to Saltwood, making no doubt for the hills inland. Consideration of the eastward course of a Roman road from this point is very largely determined by the topography, which here shows marked features some of which would entirely preclude the making of a direct road.

Top-carriage recoil is the situation in which the gun is mounted in an upper carriage that moves on wheels on fixed rails mounted on the lower. By , both sides were deploying numerous types of railway guns. It was manned by 50 men and several specialist gunnery officers from the 2nd Regiment of the Royal Artillery. It never left the drawing board and no progress was made. Successful implementation was done for firing these from the K5Vz.

Three railway mountings for the Chilean inch guns were ready for shipment by the Armistice, and the remaining three barrels were kept as spares. In compensation, large numbers of large static coastal defense guns and naval guns were moved to the front, but these were typically unsuitable for field use and required some kind of mounting.

  • Southeastern Trains Map Pdf
    Southeastern trains map pdf Continue Routes encoded by three London terminals. The best experience from several routes to London. Offer the Priorat to be dumped from Dover as it was a long time since there was no Marine Corps, Harbor or City Station. London Bridge is completely open. With work on the redevelopment of London Bridge. Not 45o lines to the right of the map. It's a bad map type that makes something that's just on earth unrecognizable. Since when did Kent look like this - with a club leg? The map takes straight and straight south-east main lines (London - Tonbridge - Hastings and Tonbridge - Ashford - Dover) in a tangled few corners. Tonbridge - Dover line arrow straight (superb piece of engineering Cubitt) - why put four bends in it? Not only that, but it's so boring you can die of depression just by looking at it. Pointless headline. Buffers in London termini, but not elsewhere. Poor geographical relations between London terminals. Strange and gloomy flower-breeding - not typical (and two dark brown colors from Charing Cross). Lines do not intersect correctly, for example in Ebbsfleet. No statement on the choice of station (stations disappear along the north Kent coast). The routes are colored. Includes Thameslink to Bedford as a co-service. Poor presentation of Javelin's new fast services: unclear around Gravesend showing Eurostar passes; The North Kent lines stretched too far to the right making Javelin/Eurostar very indirect. The map below was added without a rethink. Some very small type there. You may not recognize this important route on this map.
