There were celebrations to mark the Queen’s Silver Jubilee entitled ‘Bygone Kingsnorth’ and members of the public were permitted to ascend the tower for views from the top. This view was taken during the evening before the Park Farm development was even considered. In the far distance the tower of St Mary's parish church, Ashford can just be made out to the left of the tall building that is Charter House, while to its right is the office block in Station Road opposite the railway station.

Dist:0.3km<br/>The houses at the bottom of the meadow are in Church Hill. In the middle distance the church tower of St Mary's, Ashford can just be seen, while in the far distance is the line of the North Downs. Nowadays this view would be mostly obscured by the housing development of Myrtle Court, which was built on the lower half of the meadow.
