Considering I moved away 20 years ago.. seeing that has brought back memories.. the Cells were the original holding cells for the Gravesend Magerstates court opersite the Tapas shop
As a Tilbury geezer, this brought back many memories,some sad,some hilarious.Back in 80s & 90s a group of us would go across to Gravesend, they had better and more pubs and clubs. Great vids and Thank you 👍💯
Good Vlog... Shame the tunnels weren't open at the fort (only a quid or 2 to go in)... Also, you scratched the surface pal... If you did a full on one of the whole area, Gravesend's history is pretty unreal and it has so so many hidden gems, most haven't even been discovered by the public at large... The other forts along the Riverfront, AEI Henley hidden underground bunker, tunnels under the three daws, Sikh Temple, Gravesend Industial and Tugboat heritage (the entire river traffic from the North Sea to Teddington is still managed and ran out of Gravesend and has done since the days of Henry 8th... Family history on it runs centuries, literally)... Could go on... My town has a lot of problems but I'm a proud Gravesender and always will be!
Good comments about Gravesend from Proudbrit……. Too much time was spent chatting to the blonde lady in the market……. Study Gravesend history before doing another video.
Returning from France on June 19th 1865. All of Charles Dickens's Railway Nightmares came true! Until he was involved in a terrific train crash accident at Staplehurst in Kent. Ten people died in the accident. The accident would prop Dickens to write his finest Ghost Story called The Signalman.
As I said in one of your other videos, I'm also in Kent right between Dartford/Bexleyheath! Was last in Gravesend only last week. What did you mean at the start of the video we are taking the ferry to a little hidden gem?? Gravesend is a rather well known place not just in the UK but in other countries due to its history like you showed earlier like: Pocahontas, the actor Michael Gambon lives in the borough of Gravesend in Meopham, other well known people like actress-Gemma Arterton grew up in Gravesend amongst others! Then you say we are in the historic part of Gravesend, very confused mate lol
I believe Pocahontas's death was Small Pox. I have seen watched The New World 2005 on dvd. A Historical Drama Epic Movie. Begins in the year of 1607. Regin of His Majesty King James the 1st.
Hi if you want to find more about the haunted house in Gravesend which was the cafe called comptons we use to own the cafe and we lived above it for 10 years you’re more than welcome to reach out to me if you’d like to hear more
I enjoyed a day in Gravesend last week ,but the ferry is being discontinued at the end of the month so grab a trip on it whilst you still can.
