The most northern town in Dorset, Gillingham is pronounced with a hard 'G' as in garage. Many houses in and around Gillingham date from the 17th and 18th centuries, but it was the arrival of the railway in the mid 19th century that triggered prosperity with the expansion of industries such as brick making, butter and cheese production, and printing. Gillingham's position on the railway, now the only one in the district, has led to continued steady growth.
