The two villages of Stansted and Fairseat are perched on the edge of the North Downs in Kent, less than a mile apart. This beautiful area has been my home since 2001 and as an ardent photographer I find I have amassed quite a collection of photographs of the countryside and local events. I also fitfully research historical photographs and writings on the 2 villages and surrounding area. I hope you enjoy my findings.

Ordnance Survey Historical maps of area
I copied these two maps from a book in Longfield Library published in 1988 called Ordnance Survey Historical Guides: Kent. The one above shows Wises Lane, (highlighted) these days a rough Byway, as big as all the other roads in the area!
The other (below) shows Fairseat marked as Facy Street (highlighted).
