Dist:0.9km east<br/>The railway line east of Barnehurst station runs on a high embankment, and two residential roads, Eversley Avenue and Parkside Avenue, run parallel to it, to the north and south respectively. The embankment is cut by a couple of minor lanes that link between these two roads. This one is Eversley Cross, the other, with a much higher, but equally narrow bridge, is Parkside Cross.
