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. This view is from the Stour Valley Walk which here follows Whitehall Road. The level crossing ahead is over the line between Chartham and Canterbury West.There are pedestrian gates, although vehicles are able to open the full gates.
