Mungo Park Road, GRAVESEND, DA12 5DF

Houses on left are part of an Council estate of pre-war prefabs. These are now being knocked down and new, better houses are being built instead. This phone mast is on hill over most of Singlewell so serves a large area of people.

Leads up to Wilberforce Way,Palmers Avenue, via way to Swanson Road. From shops and local post office on Valley Drive, behind the viewer. Mobile Phone mast is on Palmers Avenue.

All of the houses on this estate have rear access, so the road is reasonably clear, but in the nature of things, many prefer to have their car out front.

On Palmers Avenue, almost opposite Mungo Park Road.

Like the countryside to the south, this part of Gravesend around Valley Drive is a series of ridges and valleys. This view looks down from Riverview Park, across Valley Drive at the bottom and up to the Parrock Farm estate on the other side of the valley.

These are part of an estate of pre-war pre-fab built council houses. The estate includes Palmers Avenue, Hawkins Avenue and Ferguson Avenue. This estate is now being knocked down and new, better homes are being built instead. The new homes are shown in photo at end of the road. Some of the old houses were bought from the Council ("maggie's" - buy your council house scheme). Even these are being bought back by the council so that the estate could fully be changed. The estate also had a bad reputation but now since most of the families have been relocated, it is hoped the estate will re-generate into a new community. Due to council budgets only a small section of the estate has been done, the rest of the estate is still waiting, but due to empty houses the area is now a target for vandalism and rubbish dumping.
