Hi
Everards still have an office in Dartford, on the Crossways estate (Just down the road from Hight Street Greenhithe). I think it mainly sells insurance now. The ship management side moved to Barrow last year. They were also recently sold to a larger company, but still retian the F T Everard & sons name.
My company used to provide warehousing and delivery to the ships for their spare parts, until they moved to Barrow.
I work about 3 mins from Greenhithe, so if you want any photos let me know.

I think Therea would really like you to knock on the doors and ask who lives there 
If you're setting off down the High Street you'll need a pint first

Yep know that pub well...
I think the Everard offices were on the other side of the road before then bend, but I could be wrong.

I have a photo of 28 & 34 High street.
If you PM me your email address I'll send them over.
11 Ivy Villas, Station Road is hiding. Its not on the Station road that leads into the high street. I think it might be in an older part that was cut off when the new bypass and London road were built.
I'll have a look tomorrow to see if it is where I think it now is.

Hope you got the photos of the high street houses.
Ivy Villas, as pharmakon says is a modern development. As best as I can find out from "locals" these houses were built in the 1970's.
They used to be in Station road but the improvement to the station and new roads cut station road in half. The old houses that were Ivy Villas were all pulled down and eventually replaced with these current houses. The road name was changed to Ivy Villas.
Just thought, it might be worth trying to contact the Dartford museum. They might have something on the Everard family.

In case Theresa want to investigate archives, I'll just clarify a point that some people get confused about.
Although the church records are at Medway archives, Greenhithe is not in Medway and Kent Archive Service are the people for all other non-ecclesiastical records.
