Chatham Dockyard
On a very chilly easter Sunday morning we decided to take a trip to The Medway Festival of Steam and Transport at Chatham Dockyard. A bit of a drive but not to bad although when we get there we had to queue for a while out in the freezing cold. Lots to see, all the vehicles which include steam engines and steam locos along with the ships, the street form Call the midwife tv programme and many exhibitions in some beautiful buildings. Sadly the weather was very overcast so pictures are not great but at least it gives you an idea of the things that were there. If your in Kent and need something to do then its a good place to visit but I think a warmer sunny day would be better. Enjoy the pictures.

Lovely car
Sorry I have no details on this vehicle at all but it was causing alot of interest.
Peckett Loco
This loco was running through the site pulling some troublesome trucks...
Ajax
My 12 year old son is into his steam locos and this is according to him a Stephenson Loco called "Ajax".
My favourite loco
This was my favourite loco of the day, its very much like a traction engine/roller but on rails and built by the very well known company called "Aveling and Porter"
Sitiing on the harbourside

Call the midwife
This is the street where the filming was done for the tv programme "call the midwife" we have never seen the programme but we understand that this is the famous street.
