| Nashenden Farm Lane, junction with Wouldham Road, M2 construction works 1962... |
The advent of the M2 in the early 60s rather disturbed the peace of Nashenden Farm and the surrounding houses. As part of the works the farm track was widened and metalled, presumably to improve access to the M2 roadworks. Things are a lot quieter since those days. Given its proximity to the M2, Nashenden Farm Lane is remarkably quiet, being tucked down far below the motorway.
The M2 pedestrian track across the bridge is currently shut but National Highways have laid on a hourly shuttle bus, which took me from the top of Sundridge Hill over to the Borstal side, courtesy of the friendly and chatty mini-bus driver.
Despite the time of year and the rather cool and wet weather of late, Nashenden Lane was still very much in bloom...
