The Cave Of The Seven Heads


An early 19th Century garden folly associated with nearby Ingress Abbey. Located under the Kent Fastway, on the east side of The Dell housing estate, Greenhithe, Kent.

The stone arch now only has 6 heads (one missing to left side) and leads to a cavern beyond the gate. The Historic England listing states, "grotesque heads which possibly came from the medieval London Bridge".

Date: 1833
