Can't recall the 'Folkestone Town Tour' but in August 1973 they were using this Guy Arab on it. Here it is running out of Folkestone Depot, and passing a couple of the reasons why I gave up riding on East Kent for a long time - they had so many it was difficult to avoid the bloody things.
Once the first expansion north of the QEW by the town of Oakville, Kent Gardens has changed a lot since the mid-century. Although there are still weird pockets of those first homes and apartments.

"Bison are being introduced to a British woodland to restore an ancient habitat and its wildlife, conservationists have said.
The move is part of a £1 million project led by Kent Wildlife Trust and the Wildwood Trust to help manage Blean Woods near Canterbury, Kent.
European bison, the continent’s largest land mammal, are the closest living relative to ancient steppe bison that would have once roamed Britain and naturally managed the habitat, conservationists said."
"A closely-knit herd of four European bison will be introduced into a fenced enclosure away from public footpaths, in what is the first time the animals have been introduced to a nature reserve to help wildlife in the UK.
They will be within a wider 500 hectare (1,200 acre) area which will also use other grazing animals such as Konik ponies to create varied and healthy habitat."

Tempo operators are on the increase in 2019 ! One of them is Hams of Filmwell who have acquired this former Wolverhampton uni example for the 297 route. For the moment running in dealer white, it is captured at Pembury just to the East of Tunbridge Wells. From here it tracks generally in that same direction connecting many villages & small towns which lack any rail connections all the way over to Tenterden.
