Description
Faversham Through Time by Robert Turcan explores the town's rich history and its many natural advantages. From its fertile farmland to its thriving brewing industry, Faversham has long been an attractive place for settlers. Today, visitors can still see evidence of this heritage in the town centre, where conservation efforts have preserved many of its finest streets. The surrounding countryside is also worth exploring, with a collection of over 4,000 fruit varieties at Bogdale and numerous fine country houses hidden away in scenic landscapes. The town's history is also closely tied to its transportation links, including the Thames sailing barges that once hauled heavy loads to London markets. A fascinating look at Faversham's past, this book offers a unique insight into the town's development over time.
