Foots Cray High Street, Foots Cray,
1979

Looking
up Foots Cray High Street towards Sidcup Hill
from near the Seven Stars pub.
This is an attractive weather-boarded building
which protrudes alarmingly onto the road.
The timber framed section of the building
(at right angles to the road) dates from the
16th century.
There is some uncertainty as to the origin
of its name.
The seven stars on the pub's sign are currently depicted surrounding
the Virgin Mary's head, and this religious
reference is supported by the discovery of
a carving of the Virgin's head with stars
found in the pub's well.
It is now set into the bar wall.
The Esso garage opposite advertises 4-star petrol
for £1.17 per
gallon (currently £1.83 per litre in 2004).
