Medway is a conurbation and unitary authority in South East England. The unitary authority was formed in 1998 when the City of Rochester-upon-Medway amalgamated with Gillingham Borough Council and part of Kent County Council to form Medway Council, a unitary authority independent of Kent County Council.
It is colloquially known as the Medway Towns. Over half of the unitary authority area is parished and rural in nature. Because of its strategic location by the major crossing of the River Medway, it has made a wide and historically significant contribution to Kent, and to England, dating back thousands of years, as evident in the siting of Watling Street by the Romans and by the Norman Rochester Castle, Rochester Cathedral (the second oldest in Britain) and the Chatham naval dockyard and its associated defences.
The main towns in the conurbation are (from west to east): Strood, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham, and Rainham. Many smaller towns and villages such as Frindsbury, Brompton, Walderslade, Luton, Wigmore etc., lie within the conurbation. Outside the urban area, the villages retain parish councils. Cuxton, Halling and Wouldham are in the Medway Gap region to the south of Rochester and Strood. Hoo St Werburgh, Cliffe, High Halstow, St Mary Hoo, Allhallows, Stoke and Grain are on the Hoo Peninsula to the north. Frindsbury Extra including Upnor borders Strood.
The battle sometimes called the Battle of the Medway took place in 43 AD, probably on the River Medway in the lands of the Iron Age tribe of the Cantiaci, now the English county of Kent. Other locations for the battle have been suggested but are less likely. This was an early battle in the Claudian invasion of Britain, led by Aulus Plautius.
On the news of the Roman landing, the British tribes united to fight them under the command of Togodumnus and his brother Caratacus of the Catuvellauni tribe. After losing two initial skirmishes in eastern Kent, the natives gathered on the banks of a river further west to face the invaders.
At the same time, the Romans received the surrender of the Dobunni tribe in western Britain. The Dobunni were subjects of the Catuvellauni, and this diplomatic gain was probably a blow to native morale and manpower.

In June 1667 the Dutch navy executed the most daring raid in its maritime history. Legendary admiral Michiel de Ruyter led his fleet up the Medway and destroyed the English fleet. It took the flagship HMS Royal Charles as trophy back to the Republic. Its stern piece is still to be admired in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, but will be temporarily on loan to the National Maritime Museum. It's for the first time in 350 years the richly decorated stern piece is back on English soil. Naval historian professor Andrew Lambert of King's College London explains the significance of the Battle of the Medway.
The Battle of Medway was a daring assault on the English which changed the course of our naval history. Between 8-17 June 2017, join us when Medway commemorates the 350th anniversary of the Battle with a unique series of events, exhibitions and activities. The fortnight will culminate on 17 June with Medway in Flames – a breathtaking one-off showcase event that will tell the story of this historic naval battle. www.medway.gov.uk/BOM (from 9 Jan)

Where the hell is Medway, Massachusetts anyway? As a child of Medway, I decided it was about time to make a travel video of the town I lived a good chunk of my life in. And like any person revisiting their middle and highschool hometown, we are very non-PR about the whole thing. Ha ha ha. With my current Medway Travel Expert - Bella Pagliazzo, we explore the vast excitement that is Medway, Massachusetts. And we play in Ocean State Job Lot a lot. Cause really, in Medway, there is not much else to do besides go get something to eat, then play in Ocean State. This video is probably going to be hated publicly by the Town of Medway, and laughed at privately in their homes. But let's be honest people, it's Medway, not Disney Land. But somehow Medway does have a surprising history of ...

Last week twelve Medway Guide Dog trainers and excitable puppies took their training session to new heights, visiting London’s highest garden – 800ft above the city. The View from The Shard presented an innovative exercise to test the puppies’ head for heights on their path to becoming fully qualified guide dogs. After travelling through London Bridge station at rush hour, they then took two high-speed lifts to the top of Western Europe’s tallest building, testing the pups' responses to basic commands in a new and exciting environment. Guide Dogs London Engagement Manager, Rob Harris said: “It’s really important for our puppies to get used to busy areas to prepare them for their future career.

They came from the other side
In bunches at a time
Crowding up the neighborhood
To raise the rates of crime
Some of them got money
Most of them got shit
All they do is come here
To take from our pockets
