Geocache Description:

Black round, magnetic canister. Please bring a pen.

If you don't want to search around for to long have a look at the very precise three part hint, as this cache can be quite hard to find.

Old Kent Road of today is not much to see but the history is somewhat better.
Chaucer's pilgrims travelled along this route from London and Southwark on their way to Canterbury. At what is the junction with the presently named Shornecliff Road was the bridge crossing of 'St Thomas-a-Waterings', over a small brook, which marked a boundary in the Archbishop of Canterbury's authority of the nearby manors in Southwark and Walworth. The landmark pub, nearby, derives its name from this connection. As such it was a place of execution for criminals whose bodies were left in gibbets at this spot, the principal route from the south-east to the City of London. The fate of burning to death or hanging, drawing and quartering of religious dissenters, both Catholic and Protestant, also occurred here. The Catholics John Jones in 1598 and John Rigby in 1600 met their end here.

*** This is part of the Tigglets Tiggopoly cache series, inspired by Firelanterns Flonopoly. This series will eventually contain all the streets on the monopoly board. The caches will be become available one by one as they are hidden and approved of. The number in the name of the cache is to identify the order they were hidden in and is not to be followed as the order to find them in.***
