A History of Murston by Bryan Clark
A History of Murston is a photographic guide through a century of change, revealing the true character of a community that has grown from a small agricultural parish into a burgeoning industrial area.
Famous for its Brickworks, Murston thrived and grew, eventually being merged into Sittingbourne as a suburb.
The village of Lower Murston was demolished in the 1960s and the inhabitants were re-housed in a new Murston estate leading off Tonge Road. Nowadays, houses are still being built and the town is expanding.
