These photos show the maps and promotion for what was called the Rainham Park development which was part of Parkwood overall plan. This consisted of the roads opposite Durham Road off Maidstone Road Rainham and linked up with Lonsdale Drive when that was constructed. Kenilworth Drive, Lonsdale Drive, Tanker Hill, Sunningdale Drive were amongst the roads as part of this development. This promotional leaflet for Rainham Park was approximately 1965 before most of the development had begun. At the time there was no road connecting the ends of Broadview Avenue, Herbert Road or Arthur Road which were part of the Broadview Garden estate.

Interestingly the road layouts pictured were actually different when built. Lonsdale didn't end opposite Asquith Road but joined the stump road shown between Woodside and Asquith Road which is now Deanwood Drive and ran more parallel to Mierscourt before it connected.
Many thanks to Craig Blum for providing these scans as well as the Rainham Park house brochures.
