Rush Pond, Chislehurst, Kent

This pond, which derives from old gravel workings, has no natural feed from any spring or stream. In recent years it has almost dried out as the water table in the area has dropped. However, active conservation work is in progress which should see the pond restored to its former very attractive appearance within a couple of years.

Railway overbridge, Sidcup, Kent

Originally this bridge, which adjoins Sidcup station, was so low that it could only be passed by single-deck buses. But following World War 2, the roadway was lowered to allow the passage of double-deckers, as seen here on the long Route 229 to Thamesmead Town Centre.
