  • The Commercial & Technical Evolution of the Ferry
    THE COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVOLUTION OF THE FERRY INDUSTRY 1948-1987 By William (Bill) Moses M.B.E. A thesis presented to the University of Greenwich in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2010 DECLARATION “I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than that of Doctor of Philosophy being studied at the University of Greenwich. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work”. ……………………………………………. William Trevor Moses Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Sarah Palmer Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Alastair Couper Date:……………………………. ii Acknowledgements There are a number of individuals that I am indebted to for their support and encouragement, but before mentioning some by name I would like to acknowledge and indeed dedicate this thesis to my late Mother and Father. Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

  • Sandwich Bay and Hacklinge Marshes Districts
    COUNTY: KENT SITE NAME: SANDWICH BAY AND HACKLINGE MARSHES DISTRICTS: THANET/DOVER Status: Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) notified under Section 28 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Local Planning Authority: THANET DISTRICT COUNCIL/DOVER DISTRICT COUNCIL National Grid Reference: TR 353585 Area: 1756.5 (ha.) 4338.6 (ac.) Ordnance Survey Sheet 1:50,000: 179 1:10,000: TR 35 NE, NW, SE, SW; TR 36 SW, SE Date Notified (Under 1949 Act): 1951 Date of Last Revision: 1981 Date Notified (Under 1981 Act): 1984 (part) Date of Last Revision: 1994 1985 (part) 1990 Other Information: Parts of the site are listed in ÔA Nature Conservation ReviewÕ and in ÔA Geological Conservation ReviewÕ2. The nature reserve at Sandwich Bay is owned jointly by the Kent Trust for Nature Conservation, National Trust and Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. The site has been extended to include a Kent Trust designated Site of Nature Conservation Interest known as Richborough Pasture and there are several other small amendments. Reasons for Notification: This site contains the most important sand dune system and sandy coastal grassland in South East England and also includes a wide range of other habitats such as mudflats, saltmarsh, chalk cliffs, freshwater grazing marsh, scrub and woodland. Associated with the various constituent habitats of the site are outstanding assemblages of both terrestrial and marine plants with over 30 nationally rare and nationally scarce species, having been recorded. Invertebrates are also of interest with recent records including 19 nationally rare3, and 149 nationally scarce4 species. These areas provide an important landfall for migrating birds and also support large wintering populations of waders, some of which regularly reach levels of national importance5.

  • The Geology of Pegwell
    The Geology of Pegwell Bay by Peter Golding In the past few years, clearance work has taken place to re-expose part of the classic coastal cliffs in Pegwell Bay, southwest of Ramsgate on the Isle of Thanet in Kent. The work, initiated by English Nature under their Face Lift programme, was organised by Thanet Council and used a local contractor. Kent RIGS Group also pro- vided assistance and is now regularly maintaining the cleared sections. Interest is focused on three aspects of the degraded cliffs: 1. 0.9km stretch of Palaeocene sediments with overlying Pleistocene brickearth in cliffs below the car park at TR 350642 2. Palaeocene-Cretaceous unconformity at Redcliff Point, TR 354644 3. The adjacent Pleistocene filled channel. Pegwell Bay has a long history of accretion and cliff abandonment. Whitaker (1872) refers to the Palaeocene cliffs as “much overgrown and hidden by fallen earth”. Rapid growth of scrub followed construction of the Hover- port in the 1970s and part of the section was permanently lost under the access road. In contrast, Redcliff Point was actively eroded at this time and the section there was “probably better exposed than for some time previous- ly” (Ward 1977). However, silting returned and the unconformity and filled channel at Redcliff Point were almost totally obscured until the cleaning of February 2005. Phase 1 in the winter of 2002/2003 saw the removal of scrub and talus from three 30metre sections below the car park. These reveal at the top of the cliff up to 4 metres of brickearth (loess) which stands in a typically vertical face with rough prismatic jointing.

  • On the Landing Place of St Augustine
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 22 1897 ( 123 ) ON THE LANDING-PLACE OF ST. AUGUSTINE. BY GEORGE DOWKER,, F.G.S. IT may seem presumption in me to re-open the question of the landing-place of St. Augustine after the learned Anti- quaries who have written on the subject, so that my essay requires a few words of introduction. I have been led to this enquiry because there seems no agreement among the writers as to the exact locality of the place called Ebbsfleet. In Dean Stanley's Historical Memorials of Canterbury, at the conclusion of the chapter relating to St. Augustine (page 54), he reviews briefly the various places where the event is supposed to have taken place:— " First, Eblsfleet: for this the main, reasons are, 1st, the fact that it was the usual landing-place in ancient Thanet, as shewn by the tradition that Hengist, St. Mildred, and the Danes came there (Lewis, page 83; Hasted, iv., page 289). 2nd, the fact that Bede's whole narrative emphatically lands Augustine in Thanet and not on the mainland. 3rd, the present situation with the local tradition (page 29). " Secondly, The spot called the Boarded Groin (Lewis, page 83), also marked in the Ordnance Survey as the landing- place of the Saxons. But this must then have been covered by the sea. " Third, Stonar, near Sandwich. Sandwich MS., in Boys's Scmdwich, page 836. But this, even if not covered by the sea, must have been a mere island (Hasted, iv., page 585). " Fourth, Richborough. Ibid., page 838. But this was not in the Isle of Thanet.

It describes the obvious boundaries of the area which we wish to include in our Neighbourhood Plan, and in which residents feel part of a village community. The Country Park has been excluded from our Plan area as it is fully managed by The Kent Wildlife Trust. General Cliffsend is a village and civil parish situated almost 2 miles (3 km) west of Ramsgate , Kent , United Kingdom, in the Thanet local government district.
