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. In the far distance the tower of St Mary's parish church, Ashford can just be made out to the left of the tall building that is Charter House, while to its right is the office block in Station Road opposite the railway station.
