About Hersden
Hersden is a village located east of Canterbury in Kent, established in the 1920s as a planned coalmining community. Situated along the A28 road, which connects Canterbury to the Isle of Thanet, Hersden's economy was primarily driven by the Kent Coalfield until the local colliery closed in the 1980s. This historical backdrop may inform current planning applications and development opportunities in the area. The settlement has a population of approximately 2,060 (2021 estimate). It sits within the Canterbury district.
