SNODLAND ~ the village that became a town

The history of the village that became the town of Snodland on the west bank of the River Medway originates from a Saxon settler.
Two industries developed in Snodland. One is as a major centre of cement production; the other is the manufacture of paper. In the nineteenth century the family of Townsend Hook arrived in the village to take over the paper mill. They left a legacy which still benefits Snodland, some of which have become landmarks.
