	About Queenborough.
		During the reign of Edward III, Queenborough rose from the Swale and Medway marshes, and became a 'new town' of the Middle Ages.
		Thus established, Queenborough prospered, until with increased competition from more readily accessible ports, such as Rochester, Chatham and the developing naval port of Sheerness, the town began to decline.
		More recently, in 1967, a proper and more dignified Hand over was amicably arranged: The Queenborough Brielle twinning arrangement was created and Sheppey residents regularly and cheerfully invaded by their Dutch friends and visitors and in return are also welcomed in Holland.
