 |
| Where to find out more... |
 |
| The original black linework has been digitally coloured |
 |
| One of Chaucer’s characters cantering from London. (The name of the city of Canterbury was derived from the fact that Canterbury was a feasible days’ canter from London). |
 |
| Speaking of name origins, ‘Gravesend’ is supposedly thus named because this is where the final graves resulting from London’s Great Plague came to an end. |
 |
| Breweries participating in the Kent Green Hop Beer Fortnight are shown against a white background, over 20 in all this year. |
 |
| London, shown with tongue clearly in cheek, as a polluted contrast to the green fields of Kent |
 |
| A hand-drawn map would not be complete without a kraken or two... |
 |
| This style of signpost was known as a ‘bichop’s finger’ after which Faversham brewery Shepherd Neame names its strong ale. The style was peculiar to Kent. |

| Do visit, it’s in Dane John Gardens and has a lovely atmosphere |
 |
| A map of Dover without a spitfire would be unthinkable, of course. |
 |
| The Sussex border, (‘part of...’ appeared in many old maps when the full county was not shown). |
 |
| Kraken/sea monster, ship and, of course, a nymph-like girl water skiing on a scallop pulled by a fish |
