When sorting some old slides, I came across these, which were taken at Easter 1968, and depict scenes from the 30 inch gauge system at Bowater's paper mill in Kent, England. I thought they might be of interest to some users of this site. The line linked paper mills at Sittingbourne and Kemsley with Ridham Dock, near to the mouth of the River Thames.
The line closed a year after these photos were taken, but parts of it live on operated by railfans as the Sittingbourne and Kemsley light railway.
