Description
Gillingham and Around Through Time explores the history and heritage of this Kentish town. Once an independent borough with its own distinct character, Gillingham's identity was lost in 1998 when it merged with Chatham and Strood to form part of Medway Council.
The area has a rich naval connection, dating back to the sixteenth century, with official records showing that storehouses were acquired here as early as 1547. This marked the establishment of a Royal Dockyard at Gillingham, which played an important role in the town's history.
Author John Clancy takes you on a photographic tour of Gillingham and its surroundings, showcasing many of the area's points of interest. With this book, you can discover more about the town's past and its connections to the River Medway and the Navy.
