Right (down slight hill) to the A2 (Chatham or Gillingham) also the Will Adams Roundabout, left to Honourable Pilot Pub, Roko Health Club Parking and B+Q Store, or behind viewer to the Gillingham Business Park and Ice Rink.
Named after Will Adams, the Gillingham born, Elizabethan Samurai nobleman, he is a contemporary of Sir Francis Drake. He is still revered in Japan as 'the Blue-eyed Samurai' and founder of the Japanese Navy. He is the 'Shogun' original of the popular television serial drama, and the James Clavell novel of that name.
