1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: North Cray Roadside Milestone, Circa 1900 This evocative black-and-white lantern slide captures the North Cray Roadside Milestone, located on the grass verge of North Cray in Kent, England. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, dates back to approximately 1900, offering a fascinating glimpse into the local history and topography of the area. The milestone, a relic of the past, stands proudly on the side of the road, its weathered surface bearing the inscriptions "4 miles to Farningham" and "1 mile to Foots Cray." These markings served as crucial navigational aids for travelers in the early 1900s, helping them keep track of their distance and location as they journeyed through the picturesque countryside. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush, green grass, with the milestone appearing as a stark, stone contrast. The absence of modern vehicles and buildings in the image further emphasizes the historical significance of this humble roadside landmark. The North Cray Roadside Milestone is a testament to the rich history and character of the Sidcup and Bexley area. Its enduring presence, despite the passage of time, serves as a reminder of the region's past and the stories that lie hidden within its landscapes. This lantern slide invites us to explore the sights and sounds of a bygone era, transporting us back to a time when travel was an adventure and milestones like this one marked the way.
