Shoreham in the Darent Valley is one of the most attractive villages in Kent. The artist Samuel Palmer (1805–1881) lived in the village from 1826 to 1835. Shoreham had the dubious distincton of being the most bombed village in the United Kingdom during the Second World War. This view looks along Church Street. The bridge on the left carries Manor Drain which is a tiny branch of the River Darent. The pub ahead on the right is the Kings Arms.
