Course of Black Lane The slight depression on the left is the course of Black Lane, an old sunken way between Canterbury and Deal. Here, the lane follows the ancient parish boundary between Eastry and Knowlton (now, Goodnestone). At the time of writing, the recorded public footpath west from Thornton Lane terminates just short of the photographer, at the turn in the parish boundary.

Course of Black Lane The disturbed ground stretching away to the east is the course of Black Lane, an old slightly sunken way between Canterbury and Deal. Here, the lane heads across the field to pick up the parish boundary between Eastry and Knowlton (now, Goodnestone) where it performs a dog-leg on its north-south alignment. The depression in the field here was filled in some years ago. This part of Black Lane was enclosed until the late nineteenth century.
