Hawley is a village near Dartford in Kent. It is part of the Sutton-at-Hone and Hawley civil parish. It is one half of Sutton-at-Hone and Hawley ward on Dartford Borough Council.
In the Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870–72), John Marius Wilson described Hawley:
Hawley, a place in Sutton-at-Hone parish, Kent; 1½ mile N of Sutton-at-Hone village. It has paper mills.

I must have been along this road hundreds of times and never noticed this Village sign was here. It was only because I stopped here for another local cache (which in the end I couldn't actually get to from here!) that I noticed it.
You are looking for a film canister within sight of the sign.
About Village Sign Caches

This cache belongs to the Village Sign Series, a series of caches based on ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (generally on the village green!).
The signs can be made of different materials from fibreglass to wood, from forged steel to stone. They can depict anything from local industry to historical events. The tradition probably started in Norfolk or Suffolk and has now spread across most of the country so we thought we would base a series on them!

If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.villagesignseries.co.uk
so we can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
