Riverside walkway near Finsborough Ness
St Mary's Island, is part of the Chatham Maritime development area. By 1854, the whole of the island was in the hands of the Crown and the Royal Dockyard, Chatham. During the later years of the Royal Navy's time in occupation the area had consisted of a mixture of sports fields and warehousing. St.Mary's Island is divided from mainland Chatham by three basins used by the Dockyard.
In 1984, the Dockyard was closed. In the late 1990s, English Partnerships and housing developer Countryside, came together to build homes on the island, under the development name Countryside Maritime. There are areas of raised parkland, but the real draw here are the views of the Medway Estuary opposite Lower Upnor and Hoo St Werburgh. In this view, Finsborough Ness is just around the corner and this is almost the eastern limit at the moment of development. The estuary continues around the uninhabited island to the left. The riverfront at Gillingham is in the distance.
