Road history

Kent is renowned for being a key roadway in the United Kingdom, hosting both the inaugural motor show in Britain at Tunbridge Wells in 1901 and pioneering white painted markings that distinguish lanes today on London-Folkestone roads in 1914. Kent roads became famously associated with musical hall songs like ‘Knocked ’em on the Old Kent Road’ as well as being included on Monopoly boards as one of their properties (at an affordable cost!). They remain busy and vital routes today for commuters as well as trucks crossing over from France or Belgium into mainland Britain!
