Oad Street is a small hamlet in the English county of Kent. [1]
Oad Street forms part of the civil parish of Borden which, in turn, is part of Swale district. Oad Street is located close to Junction 5 of the M2 motorway where it crosses the A249 road.
In 1798, Edward Hasted records that this hamlet was once called Hoade Street and Woodstreet, before becoming Oade Street. Named after a nearby Chestnut Wood (which covered the hillside down towards Danaway). In 1653, most of the parish was controlled by William Genery (from Throwley). [2]
In the hamlet are 3 listed buildings, Grade II* listed 'Yew Tree Cottage', [3] Grade II listed 'The Olde House', [4] and Grade II listed 'Hoad House'. [5]
Also a local public house, the 'Plough & Harrow' public house. [6]
It also had a former Wesleyan Chapel (Oad Street Methodist Church), [7] now converted into a private residence.
Oad Street food and craft, a restaurant and art gallery. [8]
