Sharps Green

A Memory of Gillingham.

This is a photo of Sharps Green which is now part of the Riverside Country Park. I remember playing there as a child - it was always a rather wild place. My family and a large group of neighbours would go for a picnic when the blackberries were ripe, and we would troop off to collect blackberries for our mums to make a delicious pie - we children always tried to find the most out of reach, fattest, ripest berries. The walk home was always tiring as it was all uphill!
