Old Brook Pumping Station

Since the 16th century there has been some form of earth dam that has cut Chatham off from the River Medway. This was originally called the Land Wall. In more recent times, it has become the river wall, part of the flood defences.

The pumping station was formerly part of Chatham's main drainage system.
Listed as an ancient monument, the Brook Pumping Station was part of Chatham’s main drainage system right up until 1980. Machinery designed to carry out the task of keeping Chatham dry is still in full working order and on view to the public.
