Product Description
Using over 200 images from around the turn of the twentieth century, this book presents the social history of the Medway Towns of Strood, Rochester, Chatham, and Gillingham alongside the smaller settlements of Snodland, Halling and Cuxton, Cobham and Higham, the Hoo peninsula and Rainham and Upchurch. From images of the castle at Rochester, the oldest of the towns, to the founding of Chatham Dockyard in the Elizabethan period and on to the buildings that were to inspire Charles Dickens in his writing, the reader is taken on a journey through Medway Towns' past.
