The Dell c 1920
The Dell looking towards the direction of Coldblow and the 'style' crossing the stream. Notice how devoid of trees it all is. Photographer standing on the hill where the houses of the Dell would have been to the left and the small track leading to the sandy road to Heathwood would have been to the right.
'Dick Turpins' Cave c1890.
This was situated along the Birchwood Road on the left as you tavelled from Leyton Cross towards Swanley - on land opposite the junction with Birchwood Drive. The late Winnie Blackman explained that they would be taken by their teacher on a nature walk to this cave c1920. She stated that it was high enough to take a double decker bus. Didn't believe her until I found this photograph. See the man circled at the mouth to it. This has now been filled in.
Below - The 'Moles Hole' Dartford Heath
Below shot (A2) taken from virtually same location but looking the other way towards Dartford. Denton Road forms a junction at the top of the hill.

Anybody out there who remembers sitting on the bank of Rochester Rd. on a Sunday afternoon trying to name the cars & motorbikes that sped by at about 30mph? I remember playing in the gun club, we got caught once firing the clay pidgeons at the workshops where they filled the cartridges, they let us go because the ladies working there said they couldn't recognise us, but I'm sure they did. I happened to be in England at the time of the 1987 hurricane, a bit of a worry as I was due to leave for N.Z. a couple of days later. Not very interesting but a couple of memories. Dick Turpins cave I had heard about but never saw, & have no clue about "moles hole". Steve Parker
