Flood Lane Faversham
The lane runs between Brent Road and West Street. On the right is the rear wall of the Purifier Building, This 19th century brick building was part of the town Gas Works, and had various uses including metering the gas when it came out of the ‘purifiers’ on the adjacent wharf. The building was in a dreadful state of decay after many decades of neglect when the Faversham Trust took it on and, with the help of many volunteers, it was all brought back into use. The eastern wing is now used by a block-maker, and the main arm of the building houses the workshop of a boat-builder, the Shipwrights’ Hall, and the Arthur Percival Room.

The purifier building, Faversham Creek basin
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.

Leaning tree in Flood Lane, near Faversham Creek
It is growing from the base of the rear of the purifier building, which is the only surviving relic of the town's Gas Works. Faversham Creek Trust has secured a long lease from the owners, Morrisons, in return for restoring the building so that it can be used as The Maritime Heritage Apprentice Training Centre. Work has begun clearing the ivy and pigeon droppings and evicting the large pigeon population. I suspect the tree, which leans dangerously across Flood Lane and the opposite wall, will have to be cut down.

Ordnance Wharf and Faversham Creek
Situated at the head of the creek, this site was cleared in the hope that it could be built on. A 4 storey block of flats was proposed but the application has been withdrawn. Instead of this building, an area of wild flowers has appeared. In the background, to the left, is the Shepherd Neame brewery site. To the right is the rear of Morrisons supermarket.
