Uncovering the old beds
This area of Zeals used to be used for watercress beds. They were started in the nineteenth century (as were others in the general area) as a small industry in the village. Crops were cut and dispatched to Gillingham train station. However, the trade dwindled and shortly after WWII the approximately 3.78 acres site was abandoned. Having laid untouched for over twenty years, the diggers have moved in to clear the vegetation in order for a land sale.

A fresh bed
The land at the junction of New Road and Fantley Lane was once used for allotments. Recent clearances have altered the landscape quite significantly.

A drink in Zeals
This fine two-tiered drinking fountain is installed on New Road. It was a gift to the village by Julia Chafyn Grove (wife of the lawyer and politician William) in 1875. Zeals did not have a public water supply until it was piped from Mere in 1938.

The beds see daylight for the first time for about twenty years
Zeals used to have a small but useful watercress industry in this area by Fantley Lane. Having been abandoned to Nature for a couple of decades and now just cleared, an original bed can be seen again.

Zeals: possibly the old post office
This building definitely has an old-post-office look about it and I seem to vaguely remember, in around 1992, that there was a door to the right of the window; at that time the post office was farther along to the north. Today, the post office is within Zeals Garage, a short walk from here on the opposite side of the main road.
