Minster on Sea: Ripney Hill Farm
There has been a farm on Ripney Hill since long before the residential development of Minster started. The horses' heads on the gate pillars indicate one of its current functions as an equestrian centre. This is the view from the northern end of Marian Avenue.

Looking towards Scrapsgate Road
Across scrubland below the former trackbed of The Sheppey Light Railway. According to http://www.sheppeywebsite.co.uk/index.php?id=95 the railway opened on 1 August 1901 and closed on 4 December 1950. The total length was 8 miles 52 chains. It ran from Queenborough (where there was a north-facing bay platform on the east side of the station) to Leysdown with intermediate stations at Sheerness East, East Minster-on-Sea (which was actually west of Minster), Minster-on-Sea (they're only given as Minster in the link), Brambledown Halt, Eastchurch and Harty Road Halt. Today, one can trace most of the route from the air and on the Ordnance Survey map (Explorer 149). On the ground, one can find sections overgrown with grass, brambles and trees, sections built over, sections concreted over to form a permanent way or landscaped to form paths for pedestrians.
