Vacant plot, London Road
The plot is for sale through the estate agents Thomas & partners of Dover. It was the location of TR2744 : Kepple Downe, London Road, until the house was demolished.
Planning permission has been granted by Dover District Council under application number DOV/21/01728 for the “erection of a detached dwelling, solar panel to roof slope, car port, cycle store, turning area, new vehicular access, associated parking and landscaping (existing dwelling to be demolished)”.
Lebanon cedar, Kearsney Abbey
Cedrus libani, or Cedar of Lebanon. An ancient tree, believed to be 400 - 500 years old, that is fenced off because it is considered dangerous due to branches that fall off each year.

Russell Gardens, Kearsney
Russell Gardens is Grade II Listed. It covers 10 hectares and is laid out in a formal style. They were designed by the renowned Edwardian landscape architect, Thomas H. Mawson (1861-1933). The 170m long canal pond, and Palladian-style pergola bridges and boathouse pavilion form the central architectural features of the park.
Kearsney Court, Russell Gardens
Kearsney Court was planned in 1899 for Alfred Leney, a brewer and drinks manufacturer. However, the project was soon sold on to Edward Percy Barlow, the owner of Wiggins Teape, a paper manufacturer. The house was completed about 1900, and at about the same time the grounds were laid out by Thomas Mawson (1861-1933). On Barlow's death in 1912 the property passed to Mr. Johnstone, a London newspaper man, and was later a nursing home and, in the Second World War, a military hospital. About 1950 the whole estate was bought by a development company; the main house was split into seven residential freeholds, and later several new houses were erected off the main drive. Part of the grounds, including the lowest third of the formal gardens, was acquired by the local authority for a park, now known as Russell Gardens.

34, Templar Road
The exterior of the house, with its flaking paint, gives it the appearance of being uninhabited. However one of the first floor windows was slightly ajar.
Close off Watersend
This close could be the access to ten semi-detached dwellings. Planning permission has been granted by Dover District Council under application number DOV/15/00123 for the “erection of ten semi-detached dwellings and creation of vehicular access and parking spaces (existing bungalow and garage to be demolished)(amended plans)”. It has been pointed out in comments, made by objectors, that the block-paving road surface would have to be replaced with one that is more suitable for greater use, should the houses be built.
London Road
The building, opposite the parked cars, is a garage at 191, London Road. Planning permission has been granted by Dover District Council under application number DOV/15/00123 for the “erection of ten semi-detached dwellings and creation of vehicular access and parking spaces (existing bungalow and garage to be demolished)(amended plans)”. Access to the dwellings would be via Watersend (the road to the right) and the TR2844 : Close off Watersend. The location of the planning application reads land at 191 and Forge Bungalow, London Road, Temple Ewell.
