Mildred Road is on the left and the Ship PH can be seen between the two trams, looking towards Belvedere. The level crossing to the lower ballast quay is just beyond the left hand tram.

This is another Erith Corporation Tramways picture taken in Lower Road, Belvedere, the road on the left is Mayfield Road, to be found on the 696/698 map. Locals, however, would probably call it Halfway House, after the nearby pub.

Bexleyheath Broadway. This is the Crayford side of the Clock tower. The trolleybus is outside Hides, a local department store. This is now the Broadway Shopping Centre. To the extreme left of the picture is where a WWII bomb was discovered in April 2000, which closed businesses and nearby residents were evacuated for two days. The bomb was laying there when this picture was taken!

From: "John Linge"<john.linge@btinternet.com>
This picture is, I am 95% sure, is between Townley Road and the Clock tower at Bexleyheath. This would mean that the trolley is just short of the same position as the tram in BX16 [left], but about 50 yards short. The trolley would have been travelling towards Dartford.
