Suspected wartime bomb closes Rochester station
Builders constructing a new development by Rochester station have discovered a suspected World War II bomb.
The station is closed according to Southeastern:
NEW: Because of reports of a wartime bomb being found near to the railway at #Rochester, we have been asked by the emergency services that trains do not call there whilst further investigations are carried out. More to follow.

The development beside the station covers a vast amount of vacant land and I’ve been intending to cover it for some time:
As land in the area formally housed much industry and dockyard workings this could be the first of a few.
More as it comes in.
Adverts are far from enough to cover living costs and and pay to keep it going with hosting fees, URL fees and Theme costs adding into the hundreds of pounds.
