One of the oldest intact naval buildings in the UK has been brought back to life after major restoration works – which have revealed some fascinating artifacts.
The Commissioner’s House in the Historic Dockyard Chatham was built in 1704, but has been largely empty and unused since being left vacant in 1983.
It has, however, been used as a filming location for the the popular BBC television show Call The Midwife.
Now, work is complete and the building, described as “the jewel in the crown” of the dockyard, will be open to visitors once again this summer.
