Military base[edit]

Does anyone know anything about a decommissioned military base in Rainham? Its now under elms stone way I believe, is this correct? a name for the base or any other info you have would really help me out because I'm falling flat on my face so far. -- Shimirel ^(Talk) 21:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Elms Stone Way" dosen't ring a bell with me, you don't mean the old base where Gillingham business park is ? Pickle 13:32, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Elmstone way does exist. Is it the Army camp that then became the Camp school that you're referring to? 80.194.52.135 (talk) 15:57, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Historical shops[edit]

I've just read the item on facilities/shops in Rainham. Is any of the "This used to be (insert name here), and then it was (insert name here) and now it's (insert name here) in any way notable (or noteworthy or interesting/useful)?Plingsby (talk) 10:04, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree ! It seems to be confusing and muddled. DavidAnstiss (talk) 17:25, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Rainham, Kent/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I have just undertaken a rewrite of this article, bringing together similar strands from the original. Although I know the area reasonably well, I do not live there. I do feel that something more might be said about demographics: the sweeping statements "... old people" and "... commuters and families" need to be researched: surely the huge number of new industrial sites nearby can claim some of the population? In addition, I brought into the article two hitherto separate artices about Park Wood and Rainham Mark, neither of which IMO needed such separation. And there is the Oast House theatre in Tonbridge ... Peter Shearan (talk) 16:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
