Which Kent town was Nikolai Rimsky Korsakov stationed off when he composed his Symphony No. 1?

Gravesend - although he only composed the slow movement whilst he was stationed on board ship there. He started the symphony whilst he was at Cadet School, on the encouragement of Balakirev, in 1861 and it took quite a while to write the whole work.
