Path down Burgess Hill
This is the path that coal miners, living at Elvington and employed at Tilmanstone Colliery, would have walked along to catch at train from Elvington station. This was opened on 16 October 1916, closed to passengers on 1 November 1948 and closed completely on 1 March 1951
http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/e/elvington/index.shtml This view may change sometime in the future as planning permission has been granted by Dover District Council under application number DOV/13/00654, for “A) full application for the re-contouring of the spoil and restoration of the former Colliery, proposed siting of a photovoltaic array (10 MW), restoration of the former railway halt including siting a visitor interpretation boards and rock store, landscaping and ecological works and footpath link and B) outline application for the siting of industrial units (Class B2) (10,000 sq m GEA) with all matters reserved, with the exception of layout, scale, associated car parking and means of access (amended and additional details)”. This is a similar scheme to that found near Betteshanger, which has now become Fowlmead Country Park Image

Wooden enclosure
Beside the spoil heap of the former Tilmanstone Colliery. I’ve no idea of its significance but it may form part of the future development of the site.
