Defending Chatham

A quick run through of the fortifications that were built around Chatham dockyard to protect the Naval facilities with the main focus being on the Victorian fortifications including Grain Tower, Forts Darnet, Hoo, Luton, Darland, Horsted, Bridgewoods and Borstal.

Also a ghost story and some Medway urban legends and stories thrown in. Maybe I should be working for the Medway Tourist board.

You can find me on the Socials with all my links here and my substack made up of predominantly maritime and naval history with aviation and some local history thrown in for good measure here…
