Queenborough Guildhall Museum is a small volunteer-run museum on the Isle of Sheppey covering the town's naval links and local history. Browse hundreds of photographs of naval vessels and old Queenborough, then let children ring a ship's bell, hunt for the cat-o'-nine-tails and try the old prison cell. It suits families and makes a quick Saturday stop.
