We visited Rochester on holiday in May 2009.It is located within the unitary authority area of Medway and is at the lowest bridging point of the River Medway about 30 miles from London. The town is known for its cathedral and castle, and for an epic siege in 1215. Rochester, together with neighbouring Chatham, Gillingham, Strood and a number of outlying villages makes up the Medway unitary authority area.
The town was for many years the favourite of Charles Dickens who lived nearby at Gads Hill Place, Higham, and who based many of his novels in the area. Descriptions of the town appear in Pickwick Papers , Great Expectations and lightly fictionalised as Cloisterham in The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Restoration house located on Crow Lane was the house on which Charles Dickens based Miss Havisham's (from Great Expectations) house, Satis House. This link is celebrated in Rochester's Dickens Festival each June in the Summer Dickens Festival and December with the Dickensian Christmas Festival. The 16th century red-brick Eastgate House once housed the town's museum. In the 1980s the museum was moved further west to the Guildhall so that Eastgate House could become the Charles Dickens Centre.

The High Street is decorated with Victorian-style street lights and hanging flower baskets to give it a more welcoming atmosphere.

dear David,
this old or timeless feeling is nice,
houses and street look not modern but very classical,
and colors and perspective shows me the time itself, it is like in fine cinema.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa
