As seen from Khartoum Road, leads into Fort Amhurst before heading towards the Fields of Fire near Gillingham.

This was surely built as a military building of some sort, but I don't know what. It is now a nursery.

This large piece of land is between Khartoum Road (in the background) and Maxwell Road. For ages it has been a patch of wildscrub and trees. In the background is the River Medway and views towards Strood and Medway City Industrial Estate. The land on the left, beyond the green fence is part of the Fort Amherst and the Great Lines Heritage Park.

This is to be found at Fort Amherst. The head is about ten feet high and is supposed to be the same height as the one on Nelson's Column. Fort Amherst, high above Chatham, was constructed in 1756 to protect the southeastern approaches to Chatham Dockyard and the River Medway against a French invasion. Fort Amherst is Britain’s largest and best-preserved Napoleonic Fort. Fort Amherst is now managed and operated by the Fort Amherst Heritage Trust, a Registered Charity, which opens the fort to visitors every day of the year with free access.

This is the main entrance to Fort Amherst and visitor centre. Tours leave from here to go around the fascinating fort. In the background, is the disused (and slightly forgotten), St Mary's Church overlooking the River Medway.
