Ratcliffe Highway was the old road from Strood and the Medway towns to Allhallows on the Thames shore (upstream from the Isle of Grain). The roadway seen in the picture carried the A228 until that route was upgraded in the late 20th century. Going east from this point, the alignment of the old road can still be traced (e.g. at the site of the old Sharnal Street station) but no more than fragments of the old road are passable in a motor vehicle.
