Victoria Gardens were created on land previously owned by the War Department, the Napoleanic Fort Pitt being on adjacent land. The Chatham Corporation leased and then bought the area and opened it as a public garden to mark Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. They landscaped the grounds which became very popular for strolling and admiring the views over the river Medway. Concerts were held in the Summer at the bandstand, as well as an open-air service on Armistace Day.
The cache is placed near to the bandstand. Built before 1910 it was a focal point of chatham, with brass bands entertaining Victorians on sunny sundays for many years. Iron work from the bandstand was taken for the war effort in the early 1940's but it has been replaced and refurbished in recent years. some bands still play on summer Sundays to small crowds.
The Victoria Gardens themselves offer recreational space and offer a play park, but cache is pklaced well away from this.
Placed with lots of muggles around so its easy to be stealthful and retrieve but please re-hide exactly as found.
