Gravesend is a town in the county of Kent that lies on banks of the river Thames, opposite Tilbury in the county of Essex and with a ferry service that links the two. A busy town in a popular commuter area, Gravesend is a picturesque town with pretty weatherboard houses reflected on the river. Geographically well placed, Gravesend has played an important role in the history of this area. The location is still of importance today with the opening of the Eurostar railway station at nearby Ebbsfleet.
The Thames and the history of life here are intrinsically linked and Gravesend offers fascinating stories in its architecture, historic sites and people. The Royal Terrace Pier was built in 1844 by J. B. Redman for use by day-trippers to Gravesend, many of whom arrived from London by steamer; Princess Alexandra came here from Denmark in 1863 on her way to marry the Prince of Wales. First built on cast iron doric columns, these were replaced by glass fibre when it was refurbished. Another site of interest to many visitors is St. George's church that dates back to the 18th century; with windows commemorating the American Indian Princess Pocahontas who is buried in the churchyard here.
