Road and way · Kent and the Narrow Sea
Dover Road
The Dover Road is the main highway to Dover, with coaching inns at fixed stages, older than the turnpike trusts. Beds are sixpence if shared. Coaches call at Dartford, then Old Green, Sittingbourne, Faversham and Canterbury in turn, twelve daily in summer and four in February. At hopping time the London pickers stream down it with carts of bedding and kettles.
