From the top of the tower of St Michael and All Angels, Kingsnorth in 1977 There were celebrations to mark the Queen’s Silver Jubilee entitled ‘Bygone Kingsnorth’ and members of the public were permitted to ascend the tower for views from the top. This view was taken during the evening before the Park Farm development was even considered.

Cheeseman's Green, Bridgefield development I was standing further down the lane to that of the view I took last year <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1804686">TR0138 : Cheeseman's Green: Bridgefield development</a> and therefore obtained a wider view. The development seems to be heading in a northerly direction rather than advancing any further east, at the moment. There is a fine array of ragwort in the foreground.
