Description

The history of Gillingham, Kent, is often overlooked in favour of more famous towns along the River Medway. However, this charming town has a rich and complex past that spans centuries. From its humble beginnings as a small fishing village to its current status as a thriving town, Gillingham's story is one of transformation and resilience. The town's history is marked by significant events, including the construction of the Royal Naval Dockyard at Chatham, which had a profound impact on the local population. This book delves into the lesser-known episodes and characters that have shaped Gillingham's past, revealing a fascinating narrative of remarkable people and unusual events. Fully illustrated and packed with new insights, Secret Gillingham is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in this often-overlooked corner of Kent's history.
