Five Arch Bridge, River Cray, Sidcup, Kent

The bridge is seen looking northwards from the east bank of the Cray, which above this point spreads out to form an attractive lake.

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.

"The Albany", Bexley, Kent

It's mid-April, and the Six Nations Rugby competition is well and truly over for this year, but the patriotic flags of England, Scotland and Ireland are still flying outside this large suburban pub. Perhaps they have been left in place in anticipation of the World Cup, due to begin in two months' time.

Roadside trees, Bexley, Kent

It's a wet Saturday afternoon in April, but this small patch of trees at the junction of Hurst Road with Stansted Crescent still lift the spirit, leafless though they may be.

River Shuttle, Bexley Wood, Kent

There seems to be a tradition in West Kent of dignifying even minor streams with a 'River' title - cf. the Quaggy River in Lewisham. This one, the Shuttle, flows into the Cray two miles further east from here, (we are looking east), and thence into the Thames.

Parsonage Lane, North Cray, Kent

Photograph taken looking west along Parsonage Lane from the junction with Cocksure Lane. This is a very popular route for riders, some of whom are very young and may still be under tuition, so motorists using this road should drive slowly and behave courteously in the interests of safety.
