Beside the A20.

The entrance to Kemnal Road from the Chislehurst side of the northbound carriageway of the Sidcup By-Pass (the A211). In reality, the designation 'road' is something of a misnomer here because at this entrance/exit point it has become nothing more than an unmade, poorly maintained rural footpath. The road (proper) commences several miles away in Chislehurst as a C category road, that then becomes a D category road, before petering out here. The pavement that runs along the southern side of the by-pass is just 'steps' away behind the photographer. Old records show that the road was established as a private road in approximately 1871.

A view of the northbound (London-bound) carriageway of the A211 with houses situated in Aldwick Close opposite. This side of the road is part of Chislehurst. At the foot of the picture is the entrance/exit into and out of Kemnal Road, although in fact the designation 'road' is something of a misnomer here. In reality Kemnal Road (proper) - that commences several miles away in Chislehurst - has, at this point, become nothing more than an unmade, poorly maintained rural footpath. Most of this extremely long road (perhaps 3-4 miles in length in total) is a C category road that later becomes a D category road, before petering out a mile or so behind the photographer. At this northerly end it becomes a track and then an uncared-for footpath. Records show that the road was established as a private road in approximately 1871.

Kemnal Road, a 3 or 4 mile long road commences (or ends) here as an overgrown, uncared-for rural footpath close to the northbound (London bound) carriageway of the Sidcup By-Pass (the A211). The latter is 2-3 minutes walk behind the photographer. Several miles ahead it becomes a D category road and then later a C category road, before finally reaching central Chislehurst.
