Earl Estate, Strood

Earl Estate is a well-established residential area in Strood, situated on elevated ground overlooking the Medway valley and beyond towards the Thames estuary. The estate developed in the late 20th century and has become an integral part of Strood's community landscape, characterised by tree-lined streets and mixed-tenure housing that reflect the area's development history.
