We’re looking to map both cultural heritage, local knowledge and folklore – so stories, histories, recipes and events – as well as more traditional heritage – such as forts, factories and railways.
The categories below demonstrate the elements we want to record.
We are particularly keen to uncover heritage which may have been missed in the past. This will let us capture the rich heritage of Medway.
So if you aren’t sure if your bit of heritage counts, just email Rebecca and ask.
