Return to Gillingham and the Chatham Dockyard Branch
I paid a return visit to Gillingham and the Chatham Dockyard Branch to compare images I took in the area in the early 1990s to how the area looks now.
In the early 1990s the Chatham Dockyard Branch was in regular use by trains moving contaminated spoil from the dockyard to the landfill site at Stewartby. These trains were hauled by Class 33 Crompton and Class 56 locomotives.
