The River Medway broadens at Maidstone, on its way to meet the Thames estuary, and the locks here were built in
1792 and mark the tidal limit of the waterway.
This town, known to its inhabitants as 'Mach', is situated at the far north-west corner of Powys, so distant that it is also in the Snowdonia National Park and just ten miles from the sea.
Chesham also developed north of the town centre along the valleys and ridges in the late 19th and 20th centuries, the northern part being named Newtown.
The Phoenix Park Murders, the murder by the 'Invincibles' of the Chief Secretary, Lord Frederick Cavendish, and the Under-Secretary, Thomas Burke, took place near here in broad daylight in May 1882.
