Map of Milton Regis and North Sittingbourne

Returning to the ‘mainland’ on the route to Sittingbourne:

Milton Regis Court Hall dates from about 1450 and was originally the town’s civic centre serving both as a court and administrative centre for the Hundred of Milton. It was central to Milton’s market being the guildhall and trading standards office. It has also been a school for poor boys of the area. To-day it houses a small museum of local interest.

Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway was built in 1905 for the transportation of the raw materials required for the manufacture of paper and, of course, the finished product. The line which is built to a gauge of 2′ 6″, continues to use the steam engines and rolling stock that were supplied to operate the railway in its working life prior to preservation in 1969.
