125 Years of The Strand - What are Your Favourite Memories?
Strongman Geoff Capes astride the popular Miniature Railway at The Strand.
This year marks the 125th anniversary of The Strand since it first opened in June 1896.
The hugely popular Gillingham leisure park has brought joy to generations of families over the years. To celebrate, Medway Sport would like to hear your favourite memories of The Strand from years gone by and see your family photos which showcase the history of this iconic Medway attraction.
Your best memories and photos will be used as part of an exhibition to celebrate this very special anniversary - the details of the exhibition will be announced in April.
Perhaps you can remember your first visit to The Strand? or maybe a memorable summer's day at the Lido?… perhaps you shot an unbelievable hole in one on the Crazy Golf Course… or you had a lovely family picnic which you look back on fondly.
What’s your favourite memory?
Why do you love The Strand?
Help create a celebration of memories that will live on forever!
You can take part by sending:
• Your favourite memory
• Pictures of The Strand from your family archives
Send your Strand 125 entry along with a picture (if you have one) to: medwaysport@medway.gov.uk by midnight on Sunday 21th March.
