About

Sole Street and Vigo sit on the western edge of the Borough of Gravesham as a cluster of hamlets, lanes and small farms. Housing ranges from older cottages to post-war terraces and newer infill, with a village hall, a pub and a handful of local shops serving day-to-day needs. The pattern of hedgerows and arable fields frames the settlements and small paddocks lie close to the back gardens of the houses. Narrow lanes and connecting bridleways give the area a compact, village-scale feel rather than a town centre layout.

Transport and countryside meet here: Sole Street railway station provides a local rail stop, while bus routes link to Gravesend and neighbouring parishes. Public footpaths cross the farmland and lead to woodland blocks on higher ground. Agricultural use is still visible in field boundaries and farm buildings, and community activities tend to centre on the hall and pub. The place retains local markers of its past in stone walls, brick farm outbuildings and an old milestone tucked by a lane.
