Exhibition celebrates area's sporting prowess

An exhibition celebrating the sporting heritage of an area of Kent has opened.

The Past, Present and Future exhibition is at the Medway Archives Centre, and was assembled for the 2024 Medway Sports Awards.

A mural by local artist Designed by Esther shows some of the area's leading sports stars.

The exhibition is open until 12 April.

The mural features boxer Moses Itauma, Olympic gold medallist Nathan Hales, Paralympic gold medallist Charlotte Evans and England rugby internationals Shaunagh Brown and Rachael Burford.

There is also an extensive selection of memorabilia from local sports clubs and a basketball autographed by Ryan Richards, who began his career with Medway Park Crusaders, going on to be drafted by the NBA's San Antonio Spurs.
