This is the abandoned railway
This is the abandoned railway that leads to the former Chatham Docks site in Gillingham. It has been covered by others on YouTube but I thought I would do my own take on it.
Chatham Docks is on the River Medway and in the last 10 years has slowly undergone redeveloped into apartment blocks and an Asda Superstore. A small part of the docks still exists which is rumoured to be closing in 2025. The docks were connected by railway to the Chatham Main Line and last saw use around 2010. It has now been completely severed from the main line. The end point to the former docks stops at the Asda Petrol Station.
During the cold war, Chatham Docks was used to maintain nuclear submarines in the three basins. A byproduct from maintaining the submarines was low level contaminated tools and personal protective equipment worn by the workers. This was disposed off by bagging up and burying it 5ft deep on land just in front of the Asda Superstore. This land has not undergone any redevelopment and is tested regularly for any abnormal radiation levels.
Here we take a look at the railway and the fenced off land where the nuclear contaminated waste is reportedly buried.
