West Malling was established shortly after 1100 and today's town centre retains its medieval plan with many 17th and 18th century facades hiding much older buildings. This stream has come down from the lake in Manor Park Country Park and then passed through the grounds of St Mary's Abbey before coming out at this cascade alongside Swan Street. From here it passes down the side of Frog Lane on the other side of Swan Street - see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6517569 This cascade was painted by J.M.W. Turner in 1791 as explained on the nearby plaque - see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6517602
