What interesting subjects you get into - Mike Gunnill.

Was there no other means of objection ?

`Hartley ` is local


I like the  `John Woods Estate `


Can you imagine if it was called - ` Trotter`s Estate`

` Four Gun Field ` an unusual name !

Was there no other means of objection ? : No, by the time I found out Maidstone said, it was done and dusted.

`Hartley ` is local : Not to Otterham Quay Lane!

Can you imagine if it was called - ` Trotter`s Estate` : I was expecting Parish Chairman's Close!

` Four Gun Field ` an unusual name !  : Named after guns which used to be stored on the land. Used by early navy gunboats, one based at Otterham Quay to protect the River Medway and protect Chatham Dockyard. The brickfield was also named Four Gun Field. Shame the name has gone.


Thx Mike
