Aylesford, The River Medway 1898

More about this scene
Aylesford is a perfectly sited village by the River Medway and the scene of many battles in ancient times. The medieval bridge stands on the site of a ford, once the only crossing between Rochester and Maidstone. The Carmelite friary, rededicated in 1949, is now a place of pilgrimage. Here, we see sailing barges beached on the far shore.
