Sittingbourne inKent ,England . At the end of the 19th century it was simply a row of cottages beside abrick works [http://www.old-maps.co.uk/IndexMapPage2.aspx] until, in 1924 when Frank Lloyd built the newPaper mill. The site was served by the creek which allowed the transport of raw materials to the site. At the same time he built a "garden village" (cpGarden city movement ) to house his employees; that village comprises much of Kemsley today.The once narrow gauge industrial railway which served the factory by carrying raw materials has now become the
Sittingbourne and Kemsley Light Railway , a tourist attraction. Nearby are the remains of a medieval fortified manor house: Castle Rough [http://homepage.mac.com/philipdavis/English%20sites/1640.html] .Kemsley railway station is on theSheerness Line .References
