More about this scene

Dartford was home to two of the world's most famous rock stars, Sir Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and this is how they would remember the town of their youth. On the left is a pub known as the Malt Shovel, and the 480 bus has journeyed to this point from Temple Hill. In fact, the same bus probably helped ferry the future Rolling Stones to and from band practice.
