His attempts to persuade the Pope to agree to a divorce resulted in the split from the Roman Catholic Church. He soon found the monks and friars resisted his assumption as supreme head of the church in England so, in a rage, he decided to suppress the monasteries and Catholic-leaning churches by an Act of Parliament. The story goes that while in Dover, inspecting harbour works, he noticed St Mary’s Church was still operating. He ordered it to be shut but the freemen of the town appealed. Henry, grateful for the way the freemen worked to keep the harbour free from silt, GAVE St Mary’s Church to the people of Dover. Over the following centuries this gift caused plenty of trouble between Dover’s civil authorities and the clergy. Who owned the church building? Eventually the issue went to law with the civil authority pointing out it held its council meetings at St Mary’s. So it must be theirs. After years of legal argument a compromise was reached with the Church of England agreeing to pay a type of financial compensation on being accepted as the owners. Dover agreed but there is no evidence the Church of England ever paid up!

Take the case of Dover man John Taylford who was accused of killing John Stokes, another Dovorian. The accused Taylford sought sanctuary in St James’ Church where he remained for two days. (Portrait of Henry VII in the Bridgeman Art Library) Dover mayor and coroner Edward Hextall had to decide what to do with the murderer. It was agreed by all, including the accused, that he would go into exile departing the land through the port of Rye. While on the way to Rye (travelling by the most direct route) he would carry a large cross which would be his protection. He was warned that should he divert from that direct route along the King’s Highway, or fail to sail away from Rye, he would be brought back to Dover and sentenced to death. In the time of Henry VII the normal style of execution would be to be hurled off Sharpness Cliff (now known as Shakespear Cliff) which overlooked what is now Snargate Street.

It was a remarkable period in British history marked with religious strife, love, hate, jealousy and sex. It was during the reign of Henry VIII (1509-1547) when religious strife reached its climax after the monarch split from Rome over his marriage and divorce arrangements leading to the birth of the Protestant Church of England. Before the dramatic split he was really pally with the Roman Catholic Pope, so much so that in 1521 Leo X granted Henry the title Defender of the Faith. Henry VIII, born 1491, is mostly remembered by his series of sixwives-his brother’s widow Katharine of Aragon (divorced), Anne Boleyn (beheaded), Jane Seymour (died), Anne of Cleves (divorced), Katharine Howard (beheaded) and Katharine Parr who lived on after Henry died. No wonder his life became a music hall joke; “Henry the Eighth, I am I am”.

  • Investment in Kent Top of Summit Agenda
    Investment in Kent top of summit agenda The future investment in Kent’s roads, rail and skills and how to drive forward the county’s economy, were top of the agenda at a packed meeting chaired by Dover and Deal MP Charlie Elphicke. More than 75 businessmen and women, local council leaders and education providers attended the Kent and Medway Economic Partnership Summit*, the business-led partnership responsible for driving forward the area’s economy, at Maidstone TV Studios on Friday. Charlie was joined on the panel by Ashford MP, Damian Green; North Thanet MP, Sir Roger Gale; South Thanet, MP Craig Mackinlay; and Medway MP, Kelly Tolhurst. The Kent and Medway MPs listened carefully to presentations on the future infrastructure that is vital to unlock economic growth, boost job creation and accelerate housing delivery. Port of Dover chief executive, Tim Waggott, speaking on behalf of the business community and council leaders, highlighted the importance to the UK economy of keeping the traffic moving across the River Thames and along the M20/A20 and M2/A2 arteries of Kent - a gateway county connecting the UK with its largest trading partner. Mr Waggott said the Port of Dover handles 17% of the UK’s trade in goods, and if it were a separate country, it would have the 55th biggest economy in the world. Over 10,000 trucks travel through it every day. Together with Eurotunnel, the cross-Channel corridor handles a staggering £220 billion of UK trade in goods. Over half of the HGVs coming from the Port and the Eurotunnel terminal travel to the Midlands and the North of England, often using the M2 and Dartford Tunnel.

  • Multi-Level Port Resilience Planning in the UK: How Can Information Sharing Be Made Easier? Technological Forecasting and Social Change
    Shaw DR, Grainger A and Achuthan K (2017) Multi-level port resilience planning in the UK: How can information sharing be made easier? Technological Forecasting and Social Change. Special issue on Disaster Resilience. Multi-level port resilience planning in the UK: How can information sharing be made easier? Duncan R. Shaw, Nottingham University Business School, Jubilee Campus, Nottingham, UK. (corresponding author) Email: [email protected], Tel: +44 (0) 115 8467756. Andrew Grainger, Nottingham University Business School, Jubilee Campus, Nottingham, UK. [email protected]. Kamal Achuthan, Centre for Transport Studies, Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, University College London, [email protected]. Abstract Port resilience planning is a subset of the wider disaster resilience literature and it is concerned with how port stakeholders work together to make port systems more resilience. Port stakeholders include government departments, the port operator, ship operators, importers, agents and logistics firms. Ports are vital for the operation of cities and whole countries, especial island nations like the UK. Single port systems are multi-level systems with complex operational-level relationships and interdependencies. Additional levels to this include government and the policy-level. Preparing for the crises and disasters that might befall ports requires information sharing between stakeholders about key dependencies and alternative actions. The complexity of ports presents barriers to information sharing; as do commercial and political sensitivities. This paper uses a multi-level case study on the UK’s system of ports to propose an approach to information sharing that uses the subjectivity of information from a supplier’s perspective and from a user’s perspective to reduce barriers of complexity, confidentiality and political sensitivity.

  • Masterplanning at the Port of Dover: the Use of Discrete-Event Simulation in Managing Road Traffic

Preston 1, Phillip Horne 2, Maria Paola Scaparra 1,3 and Jesse R. O’Hanley 1,3,* 1 Kent Business School, University of Kent, Canterbury CT2 7FS, UK; cliff[email protected] (G.C.P.); [email protected] (M.P.S.) 2 Dover Harbour Board, Harbour House, Marine Parade, Dover CT17 9BU, UK; [email protected] 3 Centre for Logistics and Heuristic Optimisation, University of Kent, Canterbury CT2 7FS, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 December 2019; Accepted: 27 January 2020; Published: 3 February 2020 Abstract: The Port of Dover is Europe’s busiest ferry port, handling £119 billion or 17% of the UK’s annual trade in goods. The Port is constrained geographically to a small area and faces multiple challenges, both short- and long-term, with managing the flow of five million vehicles per year to/from mainland Europe. This article describes some of the work that the Port is doing to minimize the impact of port road traffic on the local community and environment using discrete-event simulation modeling. Modeling is particularly valuable in identifying where future bottlenecks are likely to form within the Port due to projected growth in freight traffic and comparing the effectiveness of different interventions to cope with growth. One of our key findings is that space which can be used flexibly is far more valuable than dedicated space. This is supported by the much greater reduction in traffic congestion that is expected to be achieved given a 10% increase in freight traffic by reallocating space at the front of the system to temporarily hold vehicles waiting to pass through border control and check-in compared to extending the amount of space for ferry embarkation at the rear of the system.

The Marine Management Organisation (“the MMO”) informs you that consideration has been given to the application for the Dover Harbour Revision Order 2014 (“the Order”) for which you applied on behalf of Dover Harbour Board (“the Board”), under Section 14 of the Harbours Act 1964 (“the 1964 Act”) on 3 June 2014. Summary of Decision 2. The MMO has authorised the making of the Order with amendments and modifications not affecting the character of the Order which it considers necessary and appropriate. 3. The Order would confer further modernising powers on the Board considered conducive to the efficient and economical operation, improvement, maintenance or management of the Port of Dover (“the Port”). 4. The proposed Order does not authorise a project for the purposes of Council Directive 85/337/EEC which is codified by Council Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment and accordingly an environmental statement was not required. Context 5. The Board is the statutory harbour authority for the Port. It operates under Dover Harbour Acts and Orders 1954 to 2012. 6. The Port receives over 19,000 vessels per year and handles approximately 5 million roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) vehicles per year and over 13 million passengers.

  • Transport: Inland Waterways, Ports and Marine Infrastructure
    Jan Brooke Transport : Inl. Waterways, Ports and Marine Infrastructure Report Card A Climate Change Report Card for Infrastructure Working Technical Paper Transport: Inland Waterways, Ports and Marine Infrastructure Jan Brooke (Jan Brooke Environmental Consultant Ltd) Jan Brooke Transport : Inl. Waterways, Ports and Marine Infrastructure Report Card 1.0 Highlights and key messages 1.1 Ports and marine infrastructure: overview Ports, harbours and related marine infrastructure play a vital economic role. 95% of the UK’s imports and exports are transported by sea; more than 40 million passenger journeys are typically made annually, and there is extensive recreational use particularly in estuaries and inshore waters. Many different products are handled and services provided, and there are considerable differences in both the scale of operation and governance arrangements. Modern marine infrastructure is designed to operate in a dynamic physical environment and to withstand storm surge events and high winds. Extreme weather can nonetheless cause disruption to certain operations, and older infrastructure is potentially more vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The main climate variables of relevance to ports, harbours and marinas are sea level rise, storm surges, wind and wave climate, fog, and changes in erosion and sediment transport. Sea level rise is reasonably well understood, and current indications are that sea level rise will overshadow changes in wind and waves, storm surges and fog. However, confidence in the projections for these other critical parameters is low. Flooding and physical damage, together with disruption to operations such as pilotage, berthing, cargo handling and storage, fishing, and recreational activities are the main potential impacts of climate change.
