 Erith to Old Bexley - Day 1 - London Loop - Long-Distance Walks with Mark Moxon
Huge ships chug up the river at this point, and littering the landscape are obvious signs of man's endeavour; the Dartford power station stands erect in the distance, and over the river the mounds of greenery aren't natural hills, but the results of landfill.
It's only for a moment, but there on the western outskirts of town are some houses that back onto the river, and for just a few yards the river looks loved; boats lap against the banks, tended gardens slope down to little patios, and only the nearby electricity pylon hints at the surrounding industry.
Luckily the Loop soon ducks off the road and back to the River Cray, where I bumped into a group of elderly walkers who nodded with the friendly recognition of fellow walkers; the full backpack I was heaving round the route in training for Land's End to John o'Groats was a bit of a giveaway.

 ser
Although the line had reached Ashford on 1 December 1842 it was six months before the section to Folkestone was ready (on 28 June 1843) and, because the Foord Viaduct across the town was incomplete, only to a temporary station situated at the western end of the viaduct.
This line was purchased by the SER in 1846 as part of their scheme to provide a link to Chatham and services temporarily discontinued while the line was being upgraded, works which included filling in the canal and laying a double track.
Shortly before this, the Dartford Loop line was opened on 1 September 1866, from a junction with the New Cross-Chislehurst line (which had opened in 1865), via Lee, Mottingham, Bexley and Crayford.
