Faversham
Faversham is a market town and civil parish in the Swale area of Kent, England. The town lies 48 miles from London and 10 miles from Canterbury. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 19316, growing by 1606 from the 2001 Census. It sits next to the Swale, a strip of sea that separates mainland Kent from the Isle of Sheppey in the Thames Estuary. It is near to the A2, which passes through an ancient British track used by the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons, referred to as Watling Street. The town's name is a blend of Latin and Old English, which equates to mean 'the metal-worker's village'. Faversham has had a settlement since before Roman times, and archaeology has established that a Roman theatre was established in the town. Eventually, the town emerged as an essential seaport and centre for brewing. The Shepherd Neame Brewery, set up in 1698, continues to have a major role in the regional economy as a considerable employer. In between the 17th and the start of the 20th century, the town was the centre of the explosives industry, which diminished after an incident in 1916 killed more than 100 laborers. This decline happened simultaneously to the re-emergence of the town's freight market, meaning that it had merely a slight impact on the economy. There are a number of landmarks to be seen in the town, with churches which include St. Mary of Charity, Faversham Parish Church, the Maison Dieu and Faversham Recreation Ground. Existing for over 900 years, the market continues to be based in the town centre. For all your house upgrades, make certain to make use of credible contractors in Faversham to make certain of qual
