What makes Chatham & Rochester so special?

Our very own Chatham electrician would like to share some of favourite facts about Chatham & Rochester!

The history of Chatham, Kent

Chatham would have been simply fields and woods for a very long time (obviously, Kev). The first entries from centuries ago have it named what would have been a small village in the woods Cetham or Ceteham. The famous Roman road the A2 runs straight through Chatham, and most of the Medway towns, which was the route that the Romans had chosen and heavily invested in as the best route between London and Dover, back to their mainland. The crossing at the river Medway became a prominent location to secure, leading to the construction of Rochester Castle. For a long time, Britain's adversaries would have predominantly been in Europe, to the Southeast. The geographic strengths of Chatham and Gillingham was played to Britain's strategic advantage, and eventually became home to the nation's fleet. Over time, the Medway towns grew into a Naval and Army garrison. Having such military dominance for a number of decades meant the entire Medway region, and further afield in Kent, was heavily invested in defensive structures such as forts (Such as Fort Pitt and Fort Amherst, both located in Chatham), Pill boxes and the huge network of tunnels underground, many of which still exist today.

The History of Rochester, Kent

Alongside Chatham, Rochester has some very interesting history, with its significance likely dated back beyond Chatham Dockyard's significance in the British Navy's reigning years. Very quickly becoming a strong route for the Romans to travel from London to Dover, the now A2. The Romans recognised the importance of protecting this route as it cross over the river Medway, and built a fort, which eventually turned into a stone keep, and the town encircled by the castle walls. Did you know, the name Rochester loosely developed from the latin words 'River Castle'! 

In some very odd turn of events, Rochester lost its official city status in the 1980's, and through the odd English rules and regulations we've all come to know and love, it would only be possible to gain city status again under the premise of 'Rochester-upon-Medway', which I don't know about you, but I've never heard a resident of Rochester, nor Medway, over say this exact phrase, ever! How very peculiar.. 

Famous people from Chatham & Rochester

Marc Elliot Pilcher, Hairstylist and make-up artist who has been involved in Beauty & the beast, Downton Abbey and won an emmy award for his work in Mary Queen of Scots.

Thomas Waghorn (for anyone wondering, the guy wearing a traffic cone on his head near Chatham high street) was a Naval officer and most famous for poineering the idea that became the Suez canal water shortcut through Egypt.

 Charles Dickens, although he wasn't from Rochester, nor Chatham, he did spend a significant amount of time living in various homes in Rochester & Chatham. Dickens is celebrated at least yearly in these parts, the most obvious celebration is the Dickens festival weekend held in Rochester, usually on a bank holiday weekend and usually encompasses the Rochester castle, Rochester high street, in 'the moat' and other streets in Rochester!
