This book reveals a Milton Creek unknown to the present day inhabitants. It meticulously records the lives of part bargemen and a wealth of information not only on the barge industry itself but also its associated industries and their effects on life in the towns of Sittingbourne and Milton Regis. This collection brings vividly to life the world of the 19th and early 20th century bargemen.
