Hi Lads

Have any of you lot been to Chatham Historic Dockyard , any good/worth a visit ?   



Rob
Pete.:
Not in many a year. My dad rescued some rolling stock from there in the 80's and helped set up a volunteer steam railway. The whole area has been re-developed and I'm told it makes for a nice day out.
Arbalist:
Been quite a number of years since I went there but yes, it was a good day out. I'd like to go again to be honest but I've moved a lot of miles further west since I last went so it's quite a distance now.
smiffy:
I have not been for some years but the rope making shed is well worth a visit Mike
awemawson:
Yes it's very much worth a visit - about £15 an adult according to  my Brickie who went there on Sunday. Lots to see - the most impressive  bit to me is the huge wooden shed where ships used to be built - but the rope walk must come a close second. Usually loads of things going on there as well.

Eons ago I used to occasionally work there when it was operational. The Royal Naval Stores were controlled by our computers, there, and also Rosyth, Portsmouth and Devonport.
