Well finally; and much too late in my own opinion; Platform No. 2 at Dartford station, Kent, South East England; has finally erected a plaque in memory of the place where one Mick Jagger met with a young Keith Richards on October 17th 1961 – and a friendship which went on to become known throughout the world as the ‘Rolling Stones’.
SAV founder Mark is also a born and bred Kent – Dartford lad; having been born in the outskirts of the Borough.
Here is the article from the local newspaper – the KM Extra, dated 10th February 2015, showing the sign which now stands on the station platform, and also a close up of the wording.
Dartford has the ‘Mick Jagger Centre’ http://www.themickjaggercentre.com/ which was named in tribute to Mick and which hosts a huge amount of musical guests.
