Summary

[edit]
Description

The former Jezreel's Tower on Chatham Hill at the intersection between Canterbury Street and Watling Street, Gillingham, Kent. It was envisaged as a Jezreelite headquarters by James Roland White, aka James Jershom Jezreel (ca.1851-1885). Following his death, it was founded and built under the direction of his wife Clarissa (1860-1888), by architects Margetts of Chatham and builder James Gouge Naylor of Rochester. When she died in 1888 the building work ceased permanently, with the walls completed but without the roof. It was partly demolished sometime before 1911, and completely demolished between 1960 and 1961.

This real-photograph postcard is unused, but the photograph was taken before it was partially demolished. The building was sold around 1903, and we have an image of the partially demolished building dated 1911-1912 (File:Jezreels Tower Gillingham (2).jpg). So this photograph was taken between ca.1903 and 1911.
