These all formed part of the Chatham Land Front, a sophisticated line of defences across south east England in WWI. The Front consisted of trenches, barbed wire, gun emplacements and tunnels which were intended to slow down an enemy advance on key military installations further inland. The trenches around Newington were virtually identical to those that saw the worst of the fighting on the Western Front in France and Belgium - clearly they were intended for defence, not training. circa 1914
The trenches were infilled by German POWs at the end of the war but evidence of them can still be seen on the landscape around the village.
