Fort Darland was a post-mediaeval infantry fort built from 1870 to 1900 as part of the defensive network for Chatham Dockyard. It was demolished in the 1960s and the site used for housing. Some earthworks and encasement remain and are visible on aerial photographs. During the Second World War Fort Darland was a British Army detention centre. The camp was one of twelve military detention centres in England, Scotland, and the Orkney and Shetland Islands. First and second-time offenders were sent to seven of the twelve prisons. Fort Darland drew Parliamentary attention after Rifleman William Clarence Clayton perished while incarcerated; two British Army Warrant Officers were criminally charged after an investigation into Clayton's death. In addition to British Army personnel being incarcerated, members of the Canadian Army were also sentenced to Fort Darland upon conviction of first-time offences, usually sent up by their Commanding officers. Prior to Fort Darland becoming a detention centre it was an Army Technical school for boys, built in 1938 and opened for its first intake. In March 1939 it served as a school for both Royal Engineer and Royal Artillery enlisted boys. In 1940 during the Dunkirk evacuation the school became a transit camp for men returning from France the pupils having been sent home and subsequently to other Army schools. After the war, the fort's tunnels were used as a mushroom farm.

New Brompton Cricket Ground was a short-lived cricket ground in New Brompton in Chatham, Kent. The first recorded match on the ground was in 1862 when Kent County Cricket Club played Cambridgeshire in the ground's only first-class cricket match.The ground, which was on the area known as the Chatham Lines, is no longer in existence and the location of the ground is only approximately known. It was probably laid out on an area known as Comparts Meadow to the south of the London, Chatham and Dover Railway, an area that had been built over by 1881 and now forms part of Gillingham. The only other match recorded as taking place on the ground was a non-first-class match in 1894 when Chatham Cricket Club played the touring South African side, although this is likely to have taken place elsewhere on the Lines. Other cricket matches are known to have been played on the Chatham Lines, with matches recorded as early as 1773. These include matches played by the Royal Engineers Cricket Club, who used Garrison Ground 2, close to the site of the New Brompton ground, and now use the Garrison 1 Cricket Ground, and the Royal Navy cricket team. Kent have also played first-class matches at both of these grounds.
