Hidden Rochester - Secrets... Spies.... And ... Steamrollers!

Rochester has one of the most charming, heritage filled High Streets in the whole of England.

But, peel back the facades just a little bit and some remarkable secrets are revealed...

A building holding a place of national significance - which hardly anyone knows about!, another which filled in a missing link in Charles Dickens' life - 141 years after he died, the archaeological gem hidden in a museum cellar, the true story of how one building developed - and a pub with a landlord who was a threat to national security!

Local historian and professional guide, Shane Waterman, will lead you down Rochester High Street on a pleasant evening telling you the ten most fascinating stories behind what appear to be innocent facades.

Be prepared for some surprises along the way... and some stories you can dazzle your friends with afterwards!

Suitable for all ages, however children do need to have developed stamina in attention for a two hour tour with a large amount of information to absorb.
