Mouse, Rat or Vole?

We found this creature while out walking, it look like the nest had been estroyed and the babies were on the road. We thought it was a mouse but others have suggested it could be a rat and photos online look similar to a vole.

Any ideas?

Hidsons Expand Car Dealerships in Rainham

The former Town & Country cars site is also being redeveloped by Hidsons to become another of their dealerships. They now have a series of different marques along the A2, from Hidsons Citroen, Hidsons Kia, Hidsons Nissan in Rainham to a new Hidsons Seat location on the corner of Maidstone Road and the A2.


The new Hidsons dealership at Rainham Mark on the Town & country site will be Hidsons Vauxhall. This takes over from the former Greens of Rainham Vauxhall dealership outside Rainham that closed a couple of years ago. The Greens/Medway Mercedes site is still empty (as of Sept 2011)

Dominos Pizza comes to Rainham Kent

Dominos Pizza comes to Rainham Mark

They have now been granted planning permission to convert the Hop & Vine pub that closed in 2010 although this is only a few steps from the Shell garage. Strangely the Shell site would have probably made a better location as it has wider frontage and parking
