Northfleet history
Rosherville Gardens
In 1815 the first steamboat started plying between Gravesend, Kent, and London. The number of visitors steadily increased. In 1857 as many as 20,000 visitors passed through the turnstiles in one week. At night the gardens were illuminated with thousands of coloured lights and there were fireworks displays and dancing.
Rosherville New Town
Joseph Rosher gave his name to a building scheme which began with the building of new houses in 1830. A prospectus states that ‘this spot will ultimate become to Gravesend what St Leonards is to Hastings and Broadstairs to Margate’
Northfleet Harbour
Northfleet Harbour is formed from a natural river inlet of the River Ebbsfleet into the Thames. The Harbour formed over solid chalk, and created a marine facility that was originally used by the Romans. By the 18th century, a flour mill was placed within the Harbour, and later it was home to the cement industry.
Northfleet during the Second World War
150 German aircraft flew through the Kent skies to deal the worst blow to civilian life the county had experienced to that point in the war. The bombs killed 29 people, injured 27, and damaged two schools.
