So not worth a trip then

Quite like Faversham but it's a bit of a faff getting there.  Keep meaning to do the Shepherd Neame brewery there

Not much left to see but fascinating nonetheless...

Can't help but think if you're instructions on day 1 were,  "you'll be working this gunpowder press behind this mahoosive blast wall" there wouldn't be day 2...  lol:

Well

Here's my story on that:  during WW1 Faversham was a big centre of munitions manufacture.  Safety standards weren't high and there were a number of such explosions.  After one my grandmother was in convalescence where she met a soldier recovering from being gassed.  They married had 3 kids the youngest being my mother.  So were it not for Faversham I wouldn't be here.

Indeed

Sad thing is I'd like to know more but was only told this long after my granddad and grandmother had passed on.
