HISTORY OF MASJID

Chatham Hill Mosque was formed as the Kent Islamic Centre in 1983

Upstairs was used as the mosque and downstairs was occupied by the Red Cross, the whole building was eventually transformed to the Kent Islamic Centre and used as a Community Centre.

The Mosque was founded by the Bangladeshi Community from all over Kent. Since 1983 Chatham Mosque has come a long way, it has now had new work carried out with an extension, a total refurbishment. It was all made possible by the support and generosity of the community.

There are so many people that helped build this mosque and create what it is today.

Unfortunately, some of these people are no longer with us, and without them it would not have been possible.

Our journey continues.
