The Chatham Dockyard Oral History Project

The Chatham Dockyard Oral History Project

As featured on BBC Radio Kent

The Chatham Dockyard Oral History Project forms part of my study into the post-1945 history of the Yard. This site is intended for those who want to join in with the study, fill out a questionnaire or leave anonymous comments. It is aimed at everyone who worked at the Yard, whether Admiralty, management, industrial or clerical as well as those who were related to or knew dockyard workers or who just remember the Yard when it was operational and want to contribute their memories.

About The Study

The aim of the study is to fill the gap in academic study and writing about Chatham Dockyard, which exists for this period. Through interviews and questionnaires it will combine the official recorded history in Admiralty documents with the reminiscences of those who actually worked through the changes in the Yard and experienced its closure.

Contribute your memories ...

You can join the study by downloading and filling out one of the questionnaires and emailing it back to me or by applying to be interviewed, either way, please use this email address:

STOP! Don't bin it ...

If you are looking for somewhere to dispose of documents, magazine articles, old copies of CHIPS, tools or anything connected to the Yard, please contact me. Even if it is not something that I will find useful to the study, I may be able to find a home for it, for instance with the Chatham Dockyard Historical Society or the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust.
