Faversham
Faversham is a market town and civil parish in the Swale region 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, raising by 1606 from the 2001 Census. It sits beside 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 travels through an ancient British trackway used by the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons, called Watling Street. The town's name is a combination of Latin and Old English, which means mean 'the metal-worker's village'. Faversham has actually had a settlement ever since prior to Roman times, and archaeology has shown that a Roman theatre was located in the town. In time, the town emerged as an important seaport and centre for brewing. The Shepherd Neame Brewery, established in 1698, continues to have a notable part in the regional economy as a major employer. In between the 17th and the beginning of the 20th century, the town was the centre of the explosives industry, which declined after an accident in 1916 killed more than 100 laborers. This decrease happened simultaneously to the re-emergence of the town's shipping industry, meaning that it had only a slight effect on the economy. There many landmarks to be seen in the town, with churches such as St. Mary of Charity, Faversham Parish Church, the Maison Dieu and Faversham Recreation Ground. Being present for over 900 years, the market continues to be based in the town centre.
