Yes...you have that shoot999...


There is a wood which was below Buckmore Wood called Bridge Wood and this is from which the area got its name.


Also around 1821/66 where the junction of the B2097 Rochester/Maidstone Road meets the A229 Chatham/Maidstone Road (roughly ASDA Supermarket) there were Turnpike Gates called Bridgewood Gates and the Toll paid for repairs and maintenance to those two roads down to the High Street Rochester and also Town of Chatham.


Over to you shoot999...

Bridgewood Chapel?  Close to the garage and Bridgewood Cottage pub.  Part of the old Maidstone Road that was bypassed.  All long gone.

Ok...not a water pumping station but a Chapel or Mission Hall.
It is not named after the road it was in but after the area it resides in?

The main part of the building looks like a water board pumping station ?  No idea where though.

Ah-ha! Yes, I know where this is but as I don't have a pic to post I'll leave it for someone who does!
(I'm sure you all won't want to wait for me while I sort through a big box of old photographs.....)
