An historic area appraisal of the small town of Queenborough and its suburban outgrowth Rushenden, on the Isle of Sheppey, was carried out by English Heritage between 2005 and 2006. The resulting report was completed in 2006. The assessment was prompted by proposals for new development at Queenborough, as part of the wider regional planning initiatives. The report contains a contextual account of the development of the settlement, thematic sections assessing the architectural evidence for its housing and industry and a section relating to conservation and planning issues that identifies its key character areas. It is illustrated with historic and contemporary maps and illustrations, including new photography commissioned for the appraisal. In addition to a full bibliography there are three appendices: a gazetteer of surviving 18th and early 19th century buildings; an account of the key industries of Queenborough; and a compendium of OS maps and phase maps indicating construction dates for all extant buildings.
