Location[edit]

Are the co-ordinates given correct? These appear to be the co-ordinates of the current Rochester railway station. Skinsmoke (talk) 22:51, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Skinsmoke: The longitude is almost spot-on; the latitude is perhaps too far north by about five yards. Despite its name, the station wasn't in Chatham, but in fact on the Rochester side of the boundary. If you're familiar with the area, start at the present Rochester station, go down to the High Street and walk eastwards towards Chatham. Go under the railway bridge, and the site of Chatham Central is on the left. If you get as far as "The Signal Box" (a model railway shop, on the right), you've gone too far: that's almost at the Chatham boundary. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:33, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. It's not an area I know at all. It was just that when I looked it up on Ordnance Survey Get-a-Map the co-ordinates landed almost exactly on Rochester railway station. Usually when something like that happens there is some explanation in the article of one or the other, but in this instance there was nothing, so it appeared worth flagging for someone with local knowledge. Many thanks for clearing it up. Skinsmoke (talk) 09:24, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
