This landscape now contains a complex ‘palimpsest’ of features dating from the prehistoric periods through to the modern day. The present landscape is a mosaic of dense urban development, commerce and industry, interspersed with tracts of rural countryside and marshland. The present aspect of the lower Thames Valley is very different from what it was a thousand years ago. Instead of being confined within the regular banks, the river must have spread its sluggish waters over a broad lagoon, which was dotted with marshy islands. Ebbsfleet which is now half a mile from the shore, was a port in the twelfth century, and its name indicates the former existence of a tidal channel at the spot. Even the map to the right demonstrates a very different topography to the landscape today. Local place names can be seen to have been derived from this natural landscape and kentish names could be used to define areas of new housing typologies and associated new landscape: HITHE a landing place or small port for ships or boats FLEET derived from the Norse fliot which means a small river or channel COMBE a large hollow on the side of a hill MARSH a low-lying tract of land PENT slope, inclination Kent PINCH short, steep hill Kent TOLL row of trees Kent PETT clump of trees Kent ROUGHET small wood of hazel or ash with undergrowth Kent Above: Mudge map of Kent 1807 (crop) POLDER derived from Old Dutch polra, ultimately from - part of land, elevated above its surroundings - reclaimed land defined by a dyke LE STCHEZ place at the edge of a marsh which dries up in summer 6 Key Narrative Topography: geology The geological strata also represents the changing landscape as layer upon layer has been created. Prehistoric Ebbsfleet was open grass lands, with the previous river to the Thames flowing around 30 meters higher than today through a broad flood plain with shallow wooded valleys. Thurrock 1.

It is of interest as it is an example of a settlement upon a low chalk escarpment overlooking the Thames marshes. In the late Middle Ages the village of Cliffe supported a port, which thrived until a disastrous fire in 1520 stifled its growth, marking a period of decline, accentuated by the silting of the marshes of the Thames Estuary. Like Northfleet it supported cement works, that were situated as can be seen on the map top the right on Cliffe marsh, to the west of the village where the chalk cliffs came almost to within a mile of the River Thames. The area also proved a useful source of clay. The riverside location provided ease of transport and wharves were duly built at the mouth of Cliffe creek. What is of interest on walking around Cliffe is that the high street follows the topography down the hill with secondary streets running in alignment to the chalk escarpment. There are numerous buildings of townscape and visual interest. There are also a number of historic farmsteads, dotted Key around Cliffe, as can be seen highlighted on the map. During the 14th Century Cliffe was the site of a farm owned primary street by the monks of Christ’s Church, Canterbury. secondary street A row of unnamed children’s graves in the churchyard spurred Charles Dickens to use it as the setting for village centre at off- the beginning of Great Expectations (1860–61), where set in High Street Magwitch jumps out at Pip ‘among the graves by the side of the church porch’. farmstead with long facade looking out over the landscape © Landmark Information Group Ltd and Crown copyright 2018.

In 1868 Swanscombe was still a predominantly rural community with many acres under hops and several oast houses in the Swanscombe Street and Milton Street areas. However, Swanscombe Manor, which consisted of most of the land south of Swanscombe Street including the woods, with much land to the east and north of the villages, was sold to Thomas Bevan, one of the cement magnates. This sale signalled the future of much of the arable and woodlands, which would, over the next century, be largely excavated for chalk and clay, thus surrounding Swanscombe with the huge chalk pits that exist today.

As can be seen in the map of 1588 of the Thames defences, windmill hill in Gravesend and Northfleet hill can be seen with buildings of strategic orientation; possibly used as defensive look-outs. Windmill Hill was formerly the site of a beacon in 1377, which was instituted by King Richard II, and still in use 200 years later at the time of the Spanish Armada. The hill offers extensive views across the Thames and was a popular spot for Victorian visitors to the town because of the camera obscura installed. Elsewhere villas create a distinct outline on top of the chalk ridges. 1588 map of Thames defenses - extract Rosherville Gardens Mill Hill Gravesend Greenhithe tower Villas - site of Rosherville Pleasure gardens 23 Narrative: Fleet NORTHFLEET: WHARVES & WAREHOUSES SOUTHFLEET VISUAL STUDY GREENHITHE VISUAL STUDY GRAVESEND VISUAL STUDY ROMAN SETTLEMENTS 33 FLEET - Historical Analysis to Create a Narrative: trade & industry: wharves, warehouses & kilns The River Thames historically was a communications corridor and this was accompanied by the development of historic wharves.

  • Roll out the Red Carpet P.J
    Roll out the Red Carpet P.J. Salter Pat Salter worked at the Guildhall Museum Rochester and at MALSC for over 20 years. She is a well known author and works include A Man of Many Parts - Edwin Harris 1859 – 1938; Pat is also a FOMA Vice President. Roll out the Red Carpet, was originally published in The Clock Tower, the journal of the Friends of Medway Archives (FOMA) from May 2105 to May 2017 inclusive. The Clock Tower can be found on the FOMA website at http://foma-lsc.org/journal.html; the last two issues are password protected for FOMA members. Roll out the Red Carpet is a compilation of work originally undertaken by Pat for an exhibition at the Medway Archives in Strood, Kent, and gives a fascinating insight into royal visits to the Medway Towns over the centuries, from Anglo Saxon times right up to the present day. Thanks to Rob Flood and Philip Dodd for helping to make publication possible. Introduction The red carpet has been rolled out, literally or metaphorically, for royal visitors to the Medway area for centuries. However, the red carpet has not always been a celebratory one. Wars, sieges, rebellions and invasions have been occasioned by, or resulted in, carpets of blood. The Medway area has been inhabited since ancient times but the first royal visitor that we know of, with any certainty, was Aethelbert, King of Kent, in 604 and the latest, at the time of writing, that of the Princess Royal in March 2011. Chapter 1: Anglo Saxons The admirable Bede described Aethelberht, King of Kent as an able, powerful, and open-minded ruler who had a Christian Queen [Berta] unrestrained in her religious faith and practice and had the cathedral church of St Andrew built at Rochester from its foundations.
