EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photo captures the exciting addition of the new Library in Dartford. Located in Ashen Drive, this state-of-the-art facility has been built to cater to the needs of a large estate surrounding it. The grand opening ceremony took place on Friday and was graced by the presence of the Mayor. Although not positioned at the center of this picture, you can spot Princes Road on the right side leading towards Crayford, while Ashen Drive runs parallel before turning into the heart of this vibrant community. The photograph was taken on 2nd August 1960, showcasing an era when urban sprawl and housing estates were rapidly expanding to accommodate growing populations. It provides a glimpse into how living conditions were evolving during that time period. It is important to note that this caption does not refer to any specific company or commercial use associated with the library or its surroundings. Instead, it focuses solely on capturing a moment in history when infrastructure development played a crucial role in meeting societal needs and improving access to knowledge within communities like Dartford.
