EPW038234 ENGLAND (1932). Dartford Heath and new housing at Heathview Crescent and environs, Dartford, from the south-west, 1932

The Glory Bumps, a series of parallel mounds about 2 metres high. These were formed in the mid-19th Century by the removal of brick earth, a type of clay used to make bricks. The process involved removing 500 to 750 centimetres of earth to expose the seam of brick earth – up to 2 metres thick, and when this had been removed, the process moved along leaving the mounds of earth behind. These bumps have been popular with off road cyclists and scramblers for generations, and many of the regular heath walkers today have fond memories of their youth on the Glory Bumps.
