Blue Town Heritage Centre

The Blue Town Heritage Centre is a small museum dedicated to the history of Sheerness and the wider Isle of Sheppey. Blue Town is the historic core of Sheerness, planned and built in the 19th century as a naval dockyard town. The heritage centre houses exhibits covering the town's development, the dockyard's role in British naval history, and the lives of people who lived and worked here.

Inside you'll find displays of photographs, artefacts, and documents that trace the area's transformation from marshland to a major naval base. The centre tells the story of how Sheerness grew during the Industrial Revolution and the Victorian era, as well as how the town evolved when the naval dockyard's role changed over time. It's a local, community-focused museum that provides context for understanding the architecture and layout you see around Sheerness today. The centre is modest in size but rich in local detail and personal stories.
