Rochester and Chatham 2012

Folder: Great Britain
October 2012: Spooner and I took the train from Victoria Station to Rochester for a daytrip. After mooching around Rochester for half the day, we rode the local bus to Chatham and spent a couple hours at the Historic Dockyard. You can read about our adventures here.

Six Poor Travelers House, Rochester. Established by Richard Watts as a charity, the house provided food, accommodation for one night (or longer if the traveler was ill), and four pence (because carrying less than four pence would subject the travelers to the vagrancy laws) to poor travelers passing through Rochester. Charles Dickens visited the house and wrote the Christmas story "The Seven Poor Travelers," putting himself in the tale as the seventh traveler. www.richardwatts.org.uk/pt_history.html
