Rochester is a historic city with a fascinating past. A favourite location of Charles Dickens, it is home to a number of important buildings. Most famous of these is Rochester Cathedral, which continues to attract many tourists all year round. Nearby Strood is another town with a rich history. With an Old English name meaning 'marshy ground overgrown with brushwood', the town was established as a parish in the twelfth century and formed part of Kent until 1998. The Hoo Peninsula is well known as a haven for wildlife, and is also home to a number of picturesque villages. Using a unique collection of photographs, prints and postcards, Brian Joyce and Sophie Miller take the reader on a journey of discovery through streets and countryside, exploring the past life of this historic area. Well researched and informative, Rochester, Strood & the Hoo Peninsula From Old Photographs reveals the area's dramatic changes over the past two centuries as well as providing a fascinating insight into the town's history.
