Image: © Penny Mayes Taken: Unknown
Taken in the days before the high speed channel tunnel rail link and the M20 extension. The house on the left in the mid-ground is Musketstone, an isolated property on Musket Lane, subsequently removed to make way for the railway. Beyond are the barns of Eyhorne Farm. The two redwoods right of centre are in the grounds of Eyhorne Cottage (a large Georgian house visible to the right of them). The M20 came to an end just out of sight in a cutting to the right. At this time, in the mid 1970s, it only went the 13 miles to Wrotham but its four junctions made it a very useful Maidstone bypass.
