Footpath beside an embankment
The footpath is seen emerging onto Beaconsfield Road. The railings to its left mark the embankment that once carried the Canterbury to Whitstable Railway. It would have crossed the road here on a bridge from, or to, the tunnel under Tyler Hill. The Canterbury to Whitstable Railway (nicknamed The Crab and Winkle) was opened on 3 May 1830 with stations at Canterbury West and Whitstable Harbour only. Three further stations were opened during the 20th century at Blean and Tyler Hill Halt on 13 June 1908, South Street Halt on 1 July 1911 and Tankerton Halt on 1 July 1914. The railway was closed to passengers on 31 December 1930 and to all traffic on 1 December 1952. However, the following year it was reopened from 6-28 February to carry essential services from Canterbury to Whitstable, as a result of the severe coastal flooding that occurred along the east coast of the UK early in 1953.
