Chatham tends to overshadow Sheerness when looking at the history of Kent's dockyards, but Jeremy Thornton will explain the importance of shipbuilding on the Island at Newington History Group's meeting on Thursday, April 13th. Jeremy is a trustee of Sheppey Little Theatre and an expert on the Island's past.
Guests are welcome to the group's meetings, held on the second Thursday of the month in the Methodist Hall, Church Lane at 7:30pm.
The annual meeting on May 11th will include a talk about bee keeping.
The group seeks to unearth, preserve and promote the history of the village and neighbouring areas.
An annual subscription is £15.
