Elmley
Elmley is the local name for the Isle of Elmley, part of the Isle of Sheppey in Kent, England. It was also the name of a former village on the Isle of Elmley. Edward Hasted mentions in 1798, that the Isle was two eighths of the Isle of Sheppey. 11 miles by 8 miles.
==History==
The village of Elmley was a settlement of around 200 people in the late 19th century. It consisted of the Turkey Cement Works, which was the major employer for the area, as well as a school, a church, a public house and 30 dwellings. The cement works closed in 1902 and the population dwindled thereafter. Elmley School closed in the 1920s and the church was demolished in the 1960s, although the graves remain as of 2009.
There was also once a ferry service crossing the Swale to Murston (near Sittingbourne).
The last surviving buildings of the village are the Grade II listed 'Kingshill Farmhouse'〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kingshill Farmhouse, Minster-on-Sea )〕 and 'Kingshill Farmhouse Barn'〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Barn Adjoining Cattle Shed Immediately North of Kings Hill Farmhouse, Minster-on-Sea )〕
