| Tonbridge Water Works Company |
Many of you recognised the Tonbridge Water Works Company mark on the wall opposite the Canoe Club in New Wharf Road. It commemorates the beginning of the piped public water supply that started to flow in 1852. Apparantly this was to only 176 houses in Tonbridge. It probably included the Brewery alongside the river as the initiative was instigated by a small group of local business men who could have been looking after their own concerns. (Nothing changes)
