Gravesend is an ancient town in northwest Kent, England, situated 21 miles east-southeast of Charing Cross on the south bank of the Thames Estuary and opposite Tilbury in Essex.Located in the diocese of Rochester, Gravesend is the administrative centre of the Borough of Gravesham.
Its geographical situation has given Gravesend strategic importance throughout the maritime and communications history of South East England. A Thames Gateway commuter town, Gravesend retains strong links with the River Thames, not least through the Port of London Authority Pilot Station and has witnessed rejuvenation since the advent of High Speed 1 rail services via Gravesend railway station.
The location of Gravesend is at a point where the higher land – the lowest point of the dip slope of the North Downs – reaches the river bank. From its origins as a landing place and shipping port, Gravesend gradually extended southwards and eastwards. Gravesend today is a commercial and commuter town, providing a local shopping district: there are several of the multiple stores, and a good range of local shops. It has a market hall, open six days a week, and a recently established farmers' market. Crew for Thames tugboats live in town, with Gravesend watermen often hailing from a family tradition.
Gravesend Town Pier is a unique structure having the first known iron cylinders used in its construction. Gravesend Town Pier was completely refurbished in 2004 and now features a bar and restaurant. Royal Terrace Pier built in 1844 and originally named Terrace Pier, the prefix Royal was added in honour of Princess Alexandra of Denmark, who arrived at the Gravesend on her way to marry Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) in 1865.
Situated at the top of Harmer Street, Gravesend Clock Tower, Harmer Street foundation stone was laid on 6 September 1887. An American sculptor, William Ordway Partridge, created a life-size statue of the 17th-century Native American princess Pocahontas.
Windmill Hill, named after its former windmills, offers extensive views across the Thames and was a popular spot for Victorian visitors to the town because of the camera obscura installed at the Old Mill and for its tea gardens and other amusements.
The A2 road passes two miles (3 km) south of Gravesend town centre. Gravesend railway station lies on the North Kent Line, and was opened in 1849. The Gravesend West Line, terminating by the river and for some time operating as a continental ferry connection, closed in 1968. Gravesend is the primary north Kent interchange for high speed and metro rail services. Gravesend is served by several Arriva Kent Thameside bus services connecting the town with other areas in Kent including Dartford, Bluewater and Sevenoaks and to the Medway Towns. Passenger ferry services to Tilbury, Essex, operate daily (except Sundays), from Gravesend Town Pier.
