The details can be downloaded from the website. Introduction The set of chalk caves known as Margate Caves have been a popular tourist attraction since the 1860s when they were first opened to the public as ‘Vortigern’s cavern’. In 2004, the Caves were closed due to Health and Safety issues and access to the site is now prohibited, the long-term future of the Caves being uncertain. This short paper is based on a report prepared for the Heritage Developments Advisor of Thanet District Council by the writer in December 2008. Methodology As the Caves are not currently accessible this report has been prepared primarily from notes made during 1993 when the manager of the Caves at the time, Nikki Martin, planned to remove the accumulated debris that had been deposited down the well and clear out the shafts [or sumps] at the bottom of the so called dungeons. A small party of Kent Underground Research Group members volunteered to undertake these tasks and spent several weekends at the site¹. The writer was invited to attend and used the opportunity to conduct a modern underground survey using standard cave survey techniques [Fig 1].

  • The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken(
    ...................... - ..................................... = .................................................................... The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken( By DENNIS BAKER I HE home market was at least six times as valuable as the overseas market during the first half of the eighteenth century. The ratio could have been T much higher and one contemporary estimate even puts it at 32 to ~. Throughout the early modern period the vast bulk of this traffic concerned agri- cultural produce, for in I75o England was still a predominantly agricultural economy. 2 Marketing, nevertheless, remains one of the most neglected aspects of agri- cultural history? There is a dearth of suitable source material. We know much about the management of crops and livestock in the field, little about their journey beyond the farm gate. A thorough exploration of the various outlets leading from farm to consumer is a rare venture. More frequently we seek shelter in some terminological cul-de-sac like 'commercialized agriculture' or 'farming for the market'. Admittedly, in some regions the market outlets were few or fraught with hazards; such, for instance, was the difficult position of those who farmed the Midland clays, ill-drained and intractable. But others, more fortunately placed, could choose from a wide range of marketing possi- bilities; this held true, for example, over much of the eastern and home counties. The farmers of north-east Kent possessed a number of competitive advan- tages, but none more valuable than proximity to the markets both local and in London. This fertile belt of Kent stretches from Rainham in the west to the eastern extremities of Thanet, a distance of about 35 miles; it averages 8 miles or more in width.

  • THE THANET SEAPORTS, 1650-1750 by JOHN H
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 66 1953 THE THANET SEAPORTS, 1650-1750 By JOHN H. ANDBEWS NEITHER Margate, Broadstairs nor Ramsgate was recognized as a fully-fledged port by the Customs Commissioners during the period covered by this article. Waiters and Searchers of the Customs Service were stationed at all three ports to supervise the loading and discharg- • ing of goods; but there were no legal quays for the transaction of foreign trade, and no cargo could be handled in Thanet without docu- ments obtained from the Customs Collector at Sandwich.1 In 1731 the inhabitants of Margate complained of the inconveniences arising from this position, but without success.2 Certainly their complaint had some foundation, for Margate had a thriving trade, and in the past several smaller Kentish ports, such as Hythe and Folkestone, had enjoyed greater privileges. For the historian the most serious conse- quence of this dependent status is the almost complete absence of commercial statistics for the Thanet ports. Their trade and shipping were recorded with those of the port of Sandwich, and it is a difficult and often an impossible task to distinguish between the different ports. Thus T. S. Willan, in his English Coasting Trade, 1600-1750, treats the Sandwich Port Books as if they related only to the port of Sandwich, and makes no mention of Thanet, although he discusses quite insigni- ficant ports like Folkestone, Hythe and Romney. THE HAKBOURS AND SHIPS OF THANET The harbours of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate were all of the- same type : a single curved pier excluding winds and waves from the most dangerous direction, the north-east.

The necessary form can be downloaded from the website at www.kentarchaeology.ac Cholera and typhoid fever are bacterial diseases that are acquired by the consumption, mainly of water, but sometimes of food, that has been contaminated by sewage containing the excrement of people suffering from the disease The natural home of cholera is the Indian subcontinent where it had been known for many years. In the nineteenth century, however, for reasons that are not clear, it changed and caused a number of epidemics. It then travelled along the trade routes to most corners of the known world, causing several pandemics. In three of these during 1826-1838, 1846-1854 and 1863-1868, it entered Britain, causing widespread epidemics: Pandemic years Epidemic years in Britain 1826-1838 1826-1838 1846-1854 1848-49 and 1853-1854 1863-1868 1865-1866 Since the 1866, however, there have been only occasional cases in Britain, usually in travellers from abroad. Typhoid fever has been with us for centuries, probably since Roman times and has caused many isolated cases, minor outbreaks and a few major epidemics. The history of the disease is clouded.
