Thames and Medway Canal

|
The Thames and Medway Canal is a now-disused canal in the south east of England, in Kent. It linked the River Thames at Gravesend with the River Medway near Strood.
The section of the canal from Gravesend to Higham is now in the hands of the Thames & Medway Canal Association. The canal basin at Gravesend is as of October 2004 being dredged, and the lock gates into the river are to be renovated.
A large section of the route consists of the Strood and Higham tunnels which now carry the railway line between Strood and Gravesend. This tunnel has recently undergone extensive refurbishment.
