Traffic crawling along Wincheap on a damp Friday lunchtime. Looking SW towards the junction with the A2. There is an Esso petrol station to the right of the photo and the local shops are just out of the sight, further up on the left hand side next to the layby.

The two-storey cottages are 19th-century, the larger houses from the 18th. Both are Grade II listed.
