The South Eastern Railway began its services from Ashford to what is now Canterbury West on 6th February 1846 and the line was extended to Ramsgate two months later. The green bridge ahead carries the line between Faversham and Canterbury East which was opened on 9th July 1860 by the London, Chatham & Dover Railway. This view is from the Stour Valley Walk which here follows Whitehall Road and crosses the line via pedestrian gate's although vehicles are able to open the full gates. This looks in the direction of Canterbury West.
