Whataloadarubbish . . . by Milton Creek
There's an awful lot of it, and I hope it's going to get re-cycled, somehow or other. The only item I can identify is a Bosch lawn-mower (blue-green and orange, near the left hand margin, about one third of the way up).
In case anyone's wondering, it wasn't this rubbish-mountain I came looking for near Milton Creek - I thought there was a sailing barge museum somewhere nearby, but it appears that it was destroyed by a disastrous fire.
Afterthought: I strongly suspect that the junk in the picture was due to be re-cycled by SWEEEP (the Specialist Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Processor) - see the various contributions by Richard Dorrell: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/735712

But this is not used very frequently and buddleia have grown-up to block the path.

Development site, Crown Quay Lane
Planning permission has been granted by Swale Borough Council under application number 16/507877/FULL for the “erection of a residential development comprising 405 dwellings including associated access, parking, public open spaces and landscaping. New vehicular/pedestrian access from Eurolink Way and further secondary vehicular/pedestrian access off Crown Quay Lane. Associated drainage and earthworks”. The location was described as land to the west of Crown Quay Lane.
The site is bounded, along Crown Quay Lane, by a tall, steel fence but it was possible to angle the camera to get a clear view. There is still an issue of flooding but a lot of rain had fallen in previous weeks, prior to this view.

Milton Creek, Sittingbourne
Once an important waterway, but now unused and probably unknown to most Sittingbourne residents. The water tower and buildings around it are at Sittingbourne Mill.
