The old A249 at Nether Toes

Until the 1990s this was the main road to the port of Sheerness - which meant a stream of HGVs rolled through the villages of Bobbing and Iwade. I used to drive through pretty frequently, without ever noticing the name 'Nether Toes' on the map. A local landmark (up ahead, round the bend) was a filling station called Point Pheasant - long since gone, robbed of its passing trade. Richard Dorrell identifies the industrial site by the bend of the road as the FloPlast factory: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/742702
