Green Lake's old burial ground Dartford Cemetery holds the dark secrets of the idyllic community's tragic past, including the apparition of Chief Highknocker.

This was founded by Silas Burroughs, of Burroughs and Wellcome. They had set up a factory in Dartford and needed to provide care for their workers. It was named in memory of David Livingstone, the missionary. Amazing it is still open, although the local healthcare community is apparently looking for ways to get rid of the old buildings.
