Stondon is home to the country's largest private transport museum. A substantial number of its exhibits would not look out-of-place at the museum in Beaulieu.

Norwich once claimed the title of Second City of England, a title which at present is usually attributed to Birmingham (rightly or otherwise).

Wilton is another former county town.

stansted mountfitchet also has two railway station (stanted airport,stansted mountfitchet)

That's not really true; Stansted Airport is closer to Takeley. But it's a marginal one (given the naming of the airport) so I'll let it go :)

Not to be confused with Brough in the East Riding of Yorkshire, which had a large BAE Systems plant on the aerodrome.

Staying on the banks of the River Darent, the nearest railway station to Horton Kirby is Farningham Road, which is so named because it is on a road that leads to Farningham (even though the road itself is not named "Farningham Road").
