A view of the northbound (London-bound) carriageway of the A211 with houses situated in Aldwick Close opposite. This side of the road is part of Chislehurst. At the foot of the picture is the entrance/exit into and out of Kemnal Road, although in fact the designation 'road' is something of a misnomer here. In reality Kemnal Road (proper) - that commences several miles away in Chislehurst - has, at this point, become nothing more than an unmade, poorly maintained rural footpath. Most of this extremely long road (perhaps 3-4 miles in length in total) is a C category road that later becomes a D category road, before petering out a mile or so behind the photographer. At this northerly end it becomes a track and then an uncared-for footpath. Records show that the road was established as a private road in approximately 1871.
