Brasted High Street on the A25

Picture taken from close to the village hall, this village was 'saved' by the building of the M25 nearby.

Farmland looking towards M25 and North Downs

Over the fields is Brasted village on the busy A25 with the equally busy and noisy M25 motorway beyond that, with the North downs in the distance.

St. Martin's Church, Brasted, Kent

This fine parish church is built mainly of the local Kentish ragstone. It occupies a secluded site on the northern edge of the village - and there is even a quiet pub. (the Stanhope Arms) adjoining.

A25 near Brasted Sand Pits, Kent

The opening of the parallel M25 did not mean that the A25 became some quiet backwater. It still carries a great deal of traffic and can become congested, threading its way as it does through Westerham, Brasted and Sundridge. This eastward looking view was taken from the entrance to Brasted Sand Pits.

Little Norman Street Farmhouse

I am indebted to Jean Barrow of Ide Hill for supplying the name of this attractive house on the north side of Penn Lane about half a mile west of Brook Street, near Sevenoaks, Kent

A muddy bridleway

It occurred to me as I took this photograph to wonder if anyone goes out taking geographs on horseback? Some use a car, others, especially in urban areas, use public transport. A motor cycle or bicycle is useful. But on this extremely muddy bridleway, which runs westwards from New Road, Sundridge, Kent, a horse would have been the best of all.

Penn Farm, Penn Lane, near Sevenoaks, Kent

The substantial farm house shown here stands on the west side of Penn Lane, whereas most of the farm buildings are on the other side of the lane, behind the photographer.

Road mirrors, Brasted Chart, Kent

Several of the large houses on the east side of Chart Lane have positioned mirrors opposite the exits from their drives, in order to be able to see properly if it is safe to drive their cars out onto the lane. Some three of these mirrors are to be seen in this photograph.

Semi-detached houses, Pipers Green Road, Brasted Chart, Kent

Pipers Green Road runs westward for about 350 yards from its junction with Chart Lane as a metalled lane, where it meets Pipers Lane at right angles. This then runs as an unmetalled BOAT, northward and finally north-east to rejoin Chart Lane almost a mile from the end of Pipers Green Road. These semis occupy an enviable position on Pipers Green Road, and have well-tended cottage gardens.

Farm buildings at Penn Farm - Ide Hill

These farm buildings are on the other side of a very narrow road opposite Penn Farmhouse. The name "Penn" derives from the Old English Pynd, meaning an enclosure.
