In these days of ubiquitous, non-stop media and information you would think that there were few secrets anywhere left to reveal, but when it comes to Chatham there remain a surprising number of facts and idiosyncrasies that, over the years, have remained obscure. Secret Chatham is a journey through the past of this former Royal Dockyard home, unearthing many fascinating and little-known details about the Medway town that will entertain, inform and horrify visitors as well as its current inhabitants in equal measure, many of whom probably thought they knew it all. The book gives a unique perspective on the many less-obvious aspects of Chathams history and will go a long way to explaining why todays town is as it is, and how it may develop in the future.

About Philip MacDougall

Philip MacDougall writes books for Amberley on southern England but with a particular interest in the military and naval complexes that arose in and around South Hampshire (especially Portsmouth) coastal Sussex (especially Chichester) and Kent (especially Medway). As a social historian he is interested in the people and the resources of those areas and the support provided for each of those military complexes. Possibly that interest was first sparked by having a distant ancestor who served as Nelsons secretary during the 1790s and who first joined the future Admiral at the Great Nore anchorage and which lies off North Kent. As well as the author of a number of published books Philip has contributed biographical material on selected naval officers for the widely-acclaimed Dictionary of National Biography. A speaker at events both local and national he offers a wide-range of talks connected with the books he has written.
