Gravesend View Postcards

Leander Postcards is based in Gravesend, Kent. We have produced a range of postcards specifically for local retailers and collectors showing some of the sights of Gravesend and its neighbouring villages.
	Perhaps the most famous site in Gravesend is the grave of Pocahontas.
Pocahontas was buried here in Gravesend in 1617. St Georges Church was built in 1731-3 to replace the original church where she was buried. Though the statue remains today no-one actually knows the exact location of her grave.
	The Clock Tower in Gravesend was built to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.
St Andrew's Church in Gravesend was built in 1870-1 as a mission for the river people and emigrants. 100 years later it closed and reopened in 1976 as the St Andrews Centre.
	The Three Daws in Gravesend is the latest in a long line of public houses located on this site since 1565. It is believed to be the oldest smugglers pub in Kent.
The parish church of Milton-next-Gravesend dating back to the 14th century was extensively rebuilt in the 19th century.
	Meopham Mill was built in 1801, using timbers from former battleships from Chatham Dockyard. It served as an observation post during both World Wars. In 1958 it was restored and now houses the Meopham Parish Council Chamber in its base.
The Leather Bottle in Cobham has been a public house since 1629. It has strong connections with Charles Dickens and mentioned in "The Pickwick Papers".
Though there is no order form for the Gravesend View postcards, as they are aimed specifically at local shops and libraries, they are obtainable for collectors, if you wish to email us to request them specially.
