Avington Close
The parish of Tovil has seen an explosion of house building since the early 1970s. This Wimpey estate, built near the edge of the Parish boundary in the mid-70s, is on the site of a former quarry that was partially refilled, hence the difference in levels between Avington Close and Rainham Close in the background. An ancient footpath that runs left to right behind the fir trees in the centre of the picture was retained when the estate was built. Going to the right, the footpath leads to Straw Mill Hill and the former milling region of the Loose Valley Image

The old Postley Works
Situated in Postley Road adjacent to South Park School, this was a small industrial unit housing a number of businesses. Formerly it was the Postley Works, the maintenance depot for the Maidstone & District bus company. The building is being demolished (October 2006) to make way for a residential development.

Tovil Hill
The changing face of Tovil. This is looking ESE. The pub's name, The Royal Paper Mill, reflects that this was once an area of paper mills. The mill that stood to the left of the bottom of the hill has long gone and is now a housing estate. It was adjacent to Straw Mill Hill that leads into the Loose Valley where several other mills stood. More houses are under construction up Farleigh Hill in the background.
