Pre-Worboys sign on Busbridge Road, Loose Hill
The design looks pre-1930s standardisation, issued by the local council who would have been responsible for all road signs at the time. There is a second one at the other end which has been repainted, while this has apparently been forgotten.

Footpath junction near Loose Court Farm
Path from Kirkdale Road, climbs down valley past the farm, and over footbridge (farm track bridge) in the scrub (near the valley stream) and then it heads up the valley to Busbridge Road, near Pympe's Court. Crossing this, is the Loose Valley path, which goes over the stile to Kirkdale Street, from Bockingford Lane.

Riverside path in the Loose Valley
The Loose stream rises near Langley and flows into the river Medway near Tovil. For several hundred years until the early 20th century the valley was a local centre of industry with a number of ragstone quarries and a series of 13 water-powered mills. The historian William Lambarde recorded that the mills all existed in 1570. At various times they were engaged in fulling woollen cloth, paper making and corn grinding. They have all either been demolished or long ceased working but the Loose Valley and the sites of the mills were designated a Conservation Area by Maidstone Borough Council in 2000.
This path is alongside the Loose stream and a number of ponds on the way to Loose Village. Willows line the stream here.
