In these days of ubiquitous, non-stop media and information you would
think that there were few secrets anywhere left to reveal, but when it
comes to Chatham there remain a surprising number of facts and
idiosyncrasies that, over the years, have remained obscure. Secret
Chatham is a journey through the past of this former Royal Dockyard
home, unearthing many fascinating and little-known details about the
Medway town that will entertain, inform and horrify visitors as well as
its current inhabitants in equal measure, many of whom probably thought
they knew it all. The book gives a unique perspective on the many
less-obvious aspects of Chatham's history and will go a long way to
explaining why today's town is as it is, and how it may develop in the
future.
