This NEW, 140 page, hardback book was published by Meresborough Books in 1978.
The author brings alive this now sleepy part of what was the industrial and maritime might of the north Kent coastline in Victorian times. He was Foreman Shipwright at White’s shipyard in Conyer, a locality about which his knowledge was unsurpassed. Here he weaves that history into a tale of a village, its inhabitants and the cement and brick-making enterprises that fed and sustained the creek-side wharves, tramways and sailing barges in Victorian times and beyond.
The detailed text is enhanced by the use of black and white images
