Hartley, The Village c.1950

More about this scene

Hartley sits on high ground, six miles from Dartford, and enjoys expansive prospects all around. The much-expanded village rests on an ancient site - the remains of a Roman house were found here, and the church has Saxon foundations. A V Powell's fruiterer's shop is built in a curious style, with an arched corner entrance somewhat in the manner of a church hall or theatre. Next door are the twin half-timbered gables in the antique style of the Fairby Stores and Post Office and, beyond, a lofty weatherboarded barn. In 1895 the population was small - only 272.
