Another picture at Farningham, in the background the Pied Bull public house, at one time only the Bull. Farningham's narrow high street has been by-passed by the A20 Folkestone Road, which has in recent years also been by-passed by the M20.

This tour was a great success with those who took part. Thanks to all those responsible for the organisation of the tour.
