Chatham's Historic Dockyard and the Royal Engineers Museum in Gillingham have scooped hundreds of thousands of pounds in funding for new projects.

They have both received funding from the Department for Culture Media and Sport and the Wolfson Foundation, which donate money to charitable causes.

The Historic Dockyard Trust picked up £175,000 to put towards a £500,000 railway engineering project.

The Trust plans to spend the money on developing a railway engineering workshop.

The Royal Engineers Museum, Brompton, was awarded £75,000 for a project to transform its archive and library.
