Local History :

Bromley Green Road & Ruckinge Dyke 

Bromley Green Road is a quiet country lane near Ruckinge and Hamstreet in Kent. It’s known for its peaceful rural setting, but it also has a notable wartime history. In 1944, during World War II, a German V1 flying bomb was shot down over the area by a Polish pilot from the RAF. Remnants of the bomb were discovered decades later, confirming the event. Today, the road is surrounded by farmland, woodland, and scattered homes, reflecting its long-standing role in Kent’s agricultural landscape and is a highly regarded area amongst homeowners.

Ruckinge Dyke is a small stream that flows through the woodland at Whistler and neighboring properties and eventually joins the East Stour River. It has helped drain the surrounding marshland for centuries, supporting farming and settlement in the area. The village of Ruckinge itself dates back over a thousand years and was mentioned in the Domesday Book. The dyke runs through woodland and fields, adding to the natural charm and biodiversity of the region.
