A tranquil summers afternoon with a match in progress. I had the pleasure of playing on this green many years ago. History has it that cricket has been played on the green since 1776. The Cricketers Inn pub, once known as the Long Hop, is just across the road. At one time I paid my annual allotment tithe in the parish office beneath the windmill. The windmill, a Grade II listed building, was built by James Killick, a millwright from Strood, in 1801 and is still in working order. From a scanned negative.
