Rainham south of Watling Street was built up between 1960 and the 1980's. Many of the houses were built by Wards, a local firm. Some of their designs tried to make the houses look bigger. A pair of semi's might be designed to look like one larger detached house by putting one front door on the front wall and one in the side wall. Many front lawns were turfed without a dividing fence. The older houses in this picture were built for £2600-£2850 in 1961. St. Margarets Church is in the background of this picture.
