Some interesting info about
Maidstone. Maidstone is the county town of Kent,
England, 32 miles (51 km) south-east of London. The River
Medway runs through the centre of the town linking Maidstone
to Rochester and the Thames Estuary. Historically, the river
was a source and route for much of the town's trade.
Maidstone was the centre of the agricultural county of Kent,
known as the Garden of England. There is evidence of a
settlement in the area dating back to beyond the Stone Age.
The town is within the borough of Maidstone. In 2001, the
town had a population of 75,070.
Maidstone's economy has changed over the years from being
involved in heavy industry, to more light and service
industries.
The town is situated at a point where the River Medway has
previously flowed in a generally west-east direction; now,
having been joined by the Rivers Teise and Beult, its course
changes to a northerly one. As it does so, it cuts through
the ridge formed by the Greensand, so that the town occupies
a site on two opposite hills; the more easterly one
containing the town centre. Beyond that, and still higher,
is Penenden Heath.
The River Len joined the River Medway at Maidstone; though a
short river it provided the water to drive numerous
watermills. The Loose Stream, that rose at Langley and
joined at Tovil powered over 30 mills. The resultant mill
ponds on these rivers, are a prominent feature of the
landscape.
Because of that situation, Maidstone had an industrial base,
and became a nodal point for communications, both along the
ridge and beside the river, and on the river itself. Roads
radiate from here, connecting with Sevenoaks and Ashford
(the A20); the Medway towns and Hastings (A229); Tonbridge
(A26) and Tenterden (A274). All of these roads were served
by the Turnpike trusts in the 18th/19th centuries.
The two railway routes, in spite of the fact that Maidstone
is the county town, are not principal ones, due to an
accident of history. There are two principal stations:
Maidstone East, the more northerly of the two, connects with
London and Ashford; whilst Maidstone West is on the Medway
Valley Line.
Although the River Medway was historically responsible for
the growth of the town, because of its capability to carry
much of the area's goods, it is no longer a commercial
stream. There is however a great deal of tourist traffic
upon it.
As with most towns, Maidstone has continued to grow. In
doing so it has incorporated hitherto separate settlements,
villages and hamlets within its boundaries. These include
Allington, Barming, Bearsted, Penenden Heath, Sandling,
Tovil and Weavering Street. Housing estates include Grove
Green, Harbourland, Ringlestone, Roseacre, Shepway and
Vinters Park.
Maidstone was at one time a centre of industry: brewing and
paper making being among the most important. Nowadays
smaller industrial units encircle the town. The site of one
of the breweries is now Fremlin Walk shopping centre. The
pedestrianised areas of the High Street and King Street run
up from the river crossing at Lockmeadow; Week Street and
Gabriel’s Hill bisect this route. |
