These aerial photos of Rainham were taken on 28 March 1968 and show so many details that have changed since. The main one is the shopping centre that now is between Station Road and the High Street/A2 but there are many others if you look closely at the photos.
- The houses of Beverley Close in the final stages of construction
- Church Mews not yet built
- School at the top of Station Road
- Original old station building still standing
- Church house already demolished and land empty (as it would remain until Healthy Living Centre built in 2007)
- Old Co-op department store on A2
- Sorting office on A2 next to post office
- Maidstone Road/Berengrave Lane/A2 crossroads - not blocked off as now
- No car park behind Cricketers
