A young woman who became the first apprentice at Chatham Dockyard in the 1970s is one of the women featured in a new exhibition due to go on show soon.
Hidden Heroines, which is due to go on show at the Historic Dockyard Chatham later this spring, looks at the female workers at the dockyard over 200 years, from the first women of the Spinning Rooms and Sail and Colour Loft to tales of stowaways and women masquerading as men.
