The only surviving relic of the town's Gas Works. It dates back to the 1870s or 1880s and has been derelict for decades. The Faversham Creek Trust have secured a long lease from the owners, Morrisons, in return for restoring it and equipping it with workshops. It will be used as the Maritime Heritage Apprentice Training Centre. Work has begun on clearing the ivy and pigeon droppings and evicting the large pigeon population.
