More about this scene

This is the birthplace of the celebrated 20th-century actress, Dame Sybil Thorndike. Little has changed here over the years, despite the growth of the paper mill. A barrier gate system is now in operation over this busy bridge. The George Hotel, right, and the tobacconist and the teashop pictured nearby shared the village with Kent's smallest pub, the Little Gem.
