More about this scene
This attractive village stands in the beautiful valley of the River?Darent north of Sevenoaks. Here we see an empty street scene before motor traffic was commonplace. W Pocock, on the right, is a butcher's shop. Next door is the Eynsford Castle public house, so-called because it stood opposite the entrance to the ruin of a Norman castle. Eynsford's most famous son was Leslie Hore-Belisha, who introduced the Belisha beacon in 1934 whilst he was Minister of Transport. John?Wesley once preached here to assembled villagers.
