This was the track of the Ramsgate to Margate Sands railway closed in 1926. It became a closed-canopy linear wood until felled in February 2005, since when it has scrubbed over with a variety of plants. The white building in the distance is the Arlington House tower block built on or close to the terminus of the old railway line. The houses on the left are in Nash Road, those on the right in Nash Court Gardens.
