Conyer is a hamlet within Teynham civil parish in the borough of Swale in Kent, England.
[1] During the Industrial Revolution, barges were used to move many raw materials and finished goods, which were produced in Kent, into the River Thames and on to London and beyond.
The yellow stock bricks from Conyer were used to create the giant railway viaduct running from London Bridge to Greenwich.
[2] Conyer was ideally suited for this purpose (due its closeness to the Thames, via The Swale) and then a successful barge-building industry developed.
[3] A small railway was built from the main London - Sittingbourne line to Conyer, to transfer materials to the brickfields.
Conyer and the surrounding area (mostly farms) is popular with walkers, either following the Saxon Shore Way along the Swale, or with various footpath links to Sittingbourne and Faversham.
