Mill Row, off Canterbury Road, Birchington
Mill Row is a tiny lane off Canterbury Road, adjacent to the junction of that road with Essex Gardens, which leads to a footpath going to Great Brooksend Farm. It is, therefore, nothing more than a small access road for the farm and the few houses which are on this road. On adjacent Mill Lane there is a beautiful house set back from the road, but it is rather hidden by hedgerows and ivy to get a decent photo. View taken looking west-southwest.

1950s Stanton and Staveley concrete lamp post on Essex Gardens
Essex Gardens had this lovely 1950s Stanton and Staveley concrete lamp post with a Revo Prefect lantern on its turf, until the council replaced it earlier this year with a modern lamp and column. A fellow streetlight enthusiast of mine actually lives here and it was both of us who discovered this little treasure! One thing which strikes me as odd on the OS map is that Essex Gardens is shown as a B road, which is hardly true as it's just an ordinary side street! To my knowledge, the only B road in this square is Minnis Road, which is where this road leads to. How strange! View taken looking northwest.

Telegraph pole-mounted streetlight on Quex View Road
Quex View Road is lit end-to-end with these quintessentially rural lamp posts mounted on telegraph poles. The lamp gets its power by a green power box located halfway up the pole, which is triggered and connected to by the photocell on top of the lamp (this is the device that detects low levels of daylight and illuminates the lamp when dusk falls). View taken looking east-southeast towards Quex Park, hence the name of the road.
