[edit] Construction date of village?

There is nothing in this article making the point that Istead Rise is an entirely modern construct. The entire village is made up of >1960 houses. That certainly needs to be said, although I am unaware of the exact dates. In addition the information about Ebbsfleet doesn't really need to contain infomation already held on its page, surely?

Istead Rise is not an entirely modern village. On the original roads in the village (Downs Road, Arcadia Road, Upper Avenue and Wrotham Road) there are many old houses. Indeed, I live in one of them, built in 1871! The information about Ebsfleet is pertinent to people thinking of moving to the village - commuting times to London will be significantly shorter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sandersgm (talk • contribs) 06:54, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
