Rainham Police Station Demolition - Redevelopment to Flats

Rainham Police station is finally being redeveloped after many years lying empty following the closure and move to new Medway Police station in 2006. The former Rainham police station was located on Berengrave Lane parallel to the A2 High Street/Sovereign Boulevard.

These photos of Rainham Police station were taken in Dec 2012 just as the boarding was being put round the building for demolition. Planning permission was granted for flats but no work has taken place since the site was offered for sale by Cluttons.

Rainham History Now on Facebook

I've been looking for better ways for anyone interested in the history of Rainham to be able to interact and ask/answer questions. The old forum had its uses but really doesn't work anymore so a new Facebook page has now been setup.

If you are on Facebook you can go to http://www.facebook.com/RainhamHistory and hopefully we can get a community of people interested in the history of the area that are able to get in touch with each other.
