Description: Winding from the Weald of Kent to the wide, marshy estuary where it meets the Thames, the Medway has shaped the story of southern England for millennia. This sweeping account traces the river's journey through prehistoric megaliths, Roman crossings, Norman castles, and the mighty naval dockyards of Chatham that once made Britain a global power. Along the way, readers encounter the audacious Dutch raid of 1667, the industries that flourished along its banks, and the fragile ecosystems that thrive there still. A vivid portrait of a working river whose currents run deep through history, landscape, and living memory.
