    1. Flandrian Sedimentation and Palaeoenvironments in Pett Level, the Brede and Lower Rother Valleys and Walland Marsh Martyn Waller, Paul J. Burrin and Andrew Marlow Introduction work has now been extended into the lower Brede. In the Romney Marsh is one of the largest areas of reclaimed Rother valley, subsurface investigations have extended marshland in Britain. Despite its size, little is known from the fluviatile sequences (see Burrin 1988) to the about the sedimentary sequences of which it is deposits of the lower Rother, the Rother Levels and out comprised. Early investigations of the marshlands have across Walland Marsh to the Rhee Wall. All these now largely been superseded, a notable exception being investigations have been concerned with the identific- the work on the formation of the shingle barrier at ation and correlation of the sedimentary sequences Dungeness (Gulliver 1897; Lewis 1932; Lewis and found, and the reconstruction of depositional environ- Balchin 1940).

  • Pett Level to Rye Now Obviously Old, New Gate Was Built at the Southern End of Winchelsea’S Defences in 1330
    Leg 1 - Hastings to Pett Level Hastings is inextricably linked with 1066 although the Battle of Hastings took place at Senlac Hill 8 miles to the north and the Normans actually landed at Pevensey 10 miles to the west. But between the two events William the Conqueror is believed to have made camp at Hastings, probably on West Hill where he later built the castle, the ruins of which still stand today. During the Saxon era Hastings was used to describe the area belonging to a sub-tribe rather than a town. Referred to as a “New Burgh” in the Domesday Book, Hastings’ prosperity was based on fishing but any harbour the Romans might have used to export iron from a nearby mine suffered from encroaching shingle banks. Attempts to build harbour walls were defeated by the sea and Hastings remained a small fishing settlement until seaside holidays became fashionable with the Victorians. The population expanded significantly with the coming of the railways. Originally a temporary wooden structure Hastings Castle was rebuilt in stone from 1070. King John had it slighted to prevent it falling into French hands. It was rebuilt by Henry III in 1220 but the great storm of 1287 undermined the sandstone cliff bringing down a large section and part of the castle with it. The overgrown remains were uncovered in the Victorian era and presented as a tourist attraction. It currently opens to the public in conjunction with Smugglers Adventure in the caves under the hill. The tall black huts are for hanging drying fishing nets and stand on a piece of beach known as The Stade.

It specifically researches the aspects of seafaring and storminess which are shown to be vital for understanding how the town was structured and how life was lived. The study brings together a variety of sources – many collected during a fieldwork project at the ancient waterfront – which allowed for the production of a narrative about a community whose attitudes towards the sea shifted over time.
