Rochester Drive, BEXLEY, DA5 1QG

The stretch of the A2 between Falconwood and the Dartford By-pass was built between the Wars and provided considerable local employment during the recession after the First World War. It avoided the congestion through Welling and Bexleyheath which was the route of the old Watling Street. The road was increased to three lanes each way after 1963. This view is from a footbridge leading across from Rochester Drive and looks in the direction of London. The Shuttle Riverway crosses the bridge here - see - see http://walkaroundlondon.com/the-sunny-shuttle-riverway-and-a-bit-more/ and http://www.tonero.me.uk/walkmaps/T&Swalks78.pdf

The Shuttle Riverway leads through a series of small parks which have remained undeveloped because of their proximity to the River Shuttle. This photograph is looking upstream towards the new houses in Bayn Close, and the Shuttle is flowing through the dense vegetation on the left. See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6747780 for an account of a walk along the Shuttle Riverway.

The River Shuttle which runs from Avery Hill Park to join the River Cray near Hall Place is followed by the Shuttle Riverway. The river is in the vegetation to the left. This view looks upriver towards the new houses of Bayn Close. See https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6747780 for an account of a walk along the Shuttle Riverway.
