Quick facts

The Guildhall was built in 1687 and housed a courtroom and council chamber.

Inside is a full-size reconstruction of part of an 18th-century prison hulk, one of the ships that held convicts on the Medway.

A gallery called The Making of Mr Dickens tells the writer's life in the Medway towns.
