Chetney Hill
Chetney Hill was a planned lazaret on the banks of the River Medway estuary in Kent. Inspired by European ports such as Marseille and Venice, it was intended to act as a quarantine for incoming ships in times of epidemic disease. The construction was beset by many problems, even when the experienced engineer John [Rennie the Elder|John Rennie] was brought in to complete the project and its associated canal. As such, the lazaret was never completed, and the materials sold off.
