- National Fire Service Station in the Market Place area north of the Old Town Hall in Gravesend. This originated pre-war as a municipal fire station. It consisted of brick buildings for the storage of a fire appliance, a hose drying tower and a temporary hut as well as an open area for the storage of sections of water pipe. This was, for a time, the parent site for other National Fire Service Action Stations across the district. The war service use originated in 1939 and lasted until 1945. Peace time fire services were provided from a new fire station which had been built in Windmill Street in 1942. The Market Place fire station was demolished post war and has left no known traces.
