PRESTIGE 12.6.86 1857 Nearly all the cottages in the village of Bishopsbourne belonged to a Mr(s?) Duffell. They were mostly in bad repair and very high rents were charged it seemed very desirable therefore to have a couple more cottages of ? for ? labourers but in the Parish of Bishopsbourne. A site was chosen in Bridge, at the corner of the field where the new back road turned off from Kingsbury Lane, and it occurred to us that the cottages might be very cheaply built by using the large flints turned up in trenching for the Park Plantations. There were several cubic yards of them, quite sufficient for the purpose, and the carriage down being all down hill. They were easily carted down by an old horse to the site chosen. 1857 In making the plan for the cottages we profited by the experience gained by building those at Crows Camp where it was found in practice that the front door was never used, it was always kept locked and bolted while the lobby into which it opened was converted into a closet for stores and tools, the family invariably using the back door for entrance and exit; in the flint cottage therefore we gave only one door. The cottagers seem to prefer this arrangement and perhaps there is no great objection to it if the door so placed that it is necessary to cross the whole breadth of the wash house in order to reach the living room.
