Taken from the road bridge at Higham station, the watercourse on the right is part of the derelict Thames & Medway Canal which was opened between Gravesend and Higham in 1801 and fully opened to Strood in 1824. It continued in use until 1934 but had long been usurped and in places replaced by the adjacent railway line which opened in 1845.
