EPW000453 ENGLAND (1920). Chatham Intra, Chatham, 1920

Barrier Ditch

Tidal Medway

Town Mills (Flour). Wingent and Cummins ran the mill until the 1920s when the mill stood idle for several years. The mill was remodelled for Herbert Hooker, from Canterbury, with new roller plant by Henry Simon of Manchester in 1928. By 1956 the plant had an output of 13 sacks an hour - small in comparison with port mills at London. Hookers amalgamated with Hudsons of Ramsgate in the 1950s.

Arkcoll's Brewery

Medway Street corn mill, steam powered.

Royal Marine Barracks, attached to HM Chatham Dockyard

Accommodation buildings at Fort Amherst - used to house Marines from their Barracks by the waterfront (visible to the lower right where the flagpole stands)

St John's Church, Railway Street. Closed to parishioners in the 1990's

St Bartholomew's Chapel - in use as a place of worship until the early 2000's. It then stood derelict until late 2013 when a new Church Fellowship started using the building once again.

Derelict building

All this area was once part of the Dock yard. This building with the archway I think may have been stables. My Mother worked here in the late 1960s when it was a United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority out station.

I think this area was known as Rat's Bay.
