  • The Trade of the Port of Faversham, 1650-1750
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 69 1955 THE TRADE OF THE PORT OP FAVERSHAM, 1650-1750 By J. H. ANDREWS IN the value of its trade, the size and number of its ships, and the geographical extent of its commercial connections the port of Faver- sham has never achieved more than minor importance, but in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the total volume of its traffic placed it among the leading ports of Kent, and in certain branches of the coasting trade it had few rivals anywhere in England. In the following paragraphs an attempt is made to trace the development of Faversham in the period 1650-1750, using the series of Port Books in the Public Record Office.1 These documents, although they contain very detailed lists of vessels and cargoes entering and leaving the port, cannot be accepted at their face value as a comprehensive record of the trade of Faversham Creek; and before describing their contents it will be necessary to ascertain whether any other landing places besides ' Faversham itself were included in the books, and whether there were any kinds of maritime trade which were omitted from them. The Customs port of Faversham, as delimited by an Exchequer Commission of 1676,2 included a considerable portion of the Kentish coast, stretching from Milton in the west to the North Foreland in the east, but not all this coast was covered by the Faversham port books. The trade of Margate was always recorded in the Sandwich books8 and the Commissioners were almost certainly mistaken in extending the limits of Faversham as far east as the Foreland, while Milton, which seems to have been an independent Customs port at least until 1670,4 continued for another century to keep a separate set of port books, recording not only its own trade but also that of Conyer, Upchurch, Rainham and Otterham.

  • The Live Bait Squadron Bulletin
    The Live Bait Squadron Bulletin Bulletin-4 July 2013 1 INTRODUCTION, BY YOUR VIRTUAL CHAIRMAN Dear Friends, Here it is - our Society’s fourth Bulletin. Time is passing swiftly, so we better hurry to brief you all on the Society’s latest developments. Saying we mustn’t complain would be an understatement. At our first gathering in Chatham on September 22, 2012, about twenty relatives of the cruisers’ crews were present. In the previous Bulletin we were able to report a number of fifty-five members, and since then nineteen new members have presented themselves. A word of welcome will be addressed them later in this Bulletin. New members bring along new stories. All of those are being collected and added to the personal files of the late crewmembers concerned. These files thus include various stories and pictures, gathered by their descendants and relatives. Apart from being published in the Bulletins, these contributions appear on the website under the heading “About the Men.” As this Bulletin is written, late July 2013, the Society has been able to establish files on 74 crewmembers. On inquiry it appeared that on average every late crewmember is represented by four family members. So in this case this would stand for about 300 related members. Along with the existing 250 non-related members we’re talking of more than 500 members, and their number is steadily growing. We’re sorry to have to disappoint those of our readers who’ve been looking forward to any real news regarding the September 2014 Centennial commemoration. At this moment in time it is too early day yet to come up with a detailed schedule.

  • Landscape Assessment of Kent 2004
    CHILHAM: STOUR VALLEY Location map: CHILHAMCHARACTER AREA DESCRIPTION North of Bilting, the Stour Valley becomes increasingly enclosed. The rolling sides of the valley support large arable fields in the east, while sweeps of parkland belonging to Godmersham Park and Chilham Castle cover most of the western slopes. On either side of the valley, dense woodland dominate the skyline and a number of substantial shaws and plantations on the lower slopes reflect the importance of game cover in this area. On the valley bottom, the river is picked out in places by waterside alders and occasional willows. The railway line is obscured for much of its length by trees. STOUR VALLEY Chilham lies within the larger character area of the Stour Valley within the Kent Downs AONB. The Great Stour is the most easterly of the three rivers cutting through the Downs. Like the Darent and the Medway, it too provided an early access route into the heart of Kent and formed an ancient focus for settlement. Today the Stour Valley is highly valued for the quality of its landscape, especially by the considerable numbers of walkers who follow the Stour Valley Walk or the North Downs Way National Trail. Despite its proximity to both Canterbury and Ashford, the Stour Valley retains a strong rural identity. Enclosed by steep scarps on both sides, with dense woodlands on the upper slopes, the valley is dominated by intensively farmed arable fields interspersed by broad sweeps of mature parkland. Unusually, there are no electricity pylons cluttering the views across the valley. North of Bilting, the river flows through a narrow, pastoral floodplain, dotted with trees such as willow and alder and drained by small ditches.

  • A GROUP of MOUNDS on SEASALTER LEVEL, NEAR WHITSTABLE, and the MEDIEVAL IMBANKING in THIS AREA by M
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 70 1956 A GROUP OF MOUNDS ON SEASALTER LEVEL, NEAR WHITSTABLE, AND THE MEDIEVAL IMBANKING IN THIS AREA By M. W. THOMPSON THE origin of the mounds that are so commonly found on the marshes around the British Isles has always been a perplexing problem. The Essex Archaeological Society, it will be remembered, after several seasons' excavation on the Red Hills in the Essex marshes were unable to decide what activity had caused their accumulation, and it was only ten years later that Mr. R. A. Smith1 by the use of convincing Conti- nental parallels was able to show beyond reasonable doubt that they were the remains of salt works, where sea-water had been evaporated by an unfamiliar method. A few years later other members of this Society excavated further mounds, taller than the Red Hills, without briquetage and of Medieval date.2 They concluded they were salt works also, a view lent some support by the enclosures adjoining them. In the mounds we shall discuss below there was practically no briquetage and very little red earth; the mounds were clearly Medieval in date and not Roman or Iron Age like the Red Hills; and on Sheppey (within sight three miles away) the dialect word " coterells,"3 apparently of ancient origin, suggested that the mounds there may have been thrown up as refuges for cattle and sheep during tidal flooding. For these reasons we were reluctant to regard these mounds as salt works until the bulldozing of further intact mounds showed such frequent traces of burning that the conclusion became unavoidable that some industrial activity was involved.

  • THE WHITSTABLE COPPERAS INDUSTRY by ROBERT H
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 70 1956 THE WHITSTABLE COPPERAS INDUSTRY By ROBERT H. GOODSALL, F.R.I.B.A. IN The Merry Guide to Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs, published about 1825, the author, " Bernard Blackmantle "l wrote: " Near the sea shore at Tankerton, six copperas houses formerly stood, only one of which now remains, the cliff whereon they were erected having gradually loosened by the encroach- ments of the sea; here the manufacture of copperas used to be carried on to some extent, but owing to the above-named circum- stances, and the cheapness of the article in the north of England and elsewhere, the works have been for some time disused." Earlier another writer2 had referred to " the black and dismal appearance of the copperas buildings " which " excite disgust rather than curiosity". Hasted contains a brief reference to the subject: " About half a mile from the street, near the sea shore and Tankerton are six copperas- houses, where the manufacture of copperas, or green vitriol, is carried on." To-day all visible traces of the works have long since disappeared and local memory is unable to recall details of this bygone trade of many generations of Whitstable folk. However, thanks to the kindness of Mr. W. M. Bishop, L.R.I.B.A., of Whitstable, the writer has had the opportunity of examining upwards of seventy most interesting deeds and writings in his possession which trace the ownership of the Copperas Works and the land upon which they stood. These documents provide many hitherto unknown or forgotten details concerning the manufac- ture, and above all furnish evidence of the considerable size and importance of the copperas trade to the district hi past centuries.

  • Dear Whitstable Beach Campaign Supporters
    Dear Whitstable Beach Campaign Supporters HELP SAVE OUR FORESHORE! Public Inquiry to hear appeal by WOFC against CCC enforcement to remove oyster farm on Whitstable foreshore DEADLINE FOR COMMENTS: 21st May. Reference: APP/J2210/C/18/3209297 You are probably aware that last July Canterbury City Council refused permission for the Whitstable Oyster Fishery Company’s (WOFC) large-scale industrial oyster farm on the Whitstable foreshore. A Public Inquiry to decide the WOFC’s subsequent appeal is now underway and the WBC is contacting you now because it appears that almost no-one has received notification of the timetable for the Inquiry. In the email that follows we give the background to this appeal, what is required now and how you can make your opinions known to the Inquiry inspector. The Enforcement Notice issued by Canterbury City Council was due to take effect on the 17th August 2018 with 2 months to comply with the requirements of the Notice which seeks to remove the oyster trestles from the Land. On the 15th August 2018, however, the WOFC submitted an appeal to the Secretary of State against the Enforcement Notice. This action prevents the enforcement notice taking effect until a decision has been made on that appeal. If the appeal is successful the WOFC will potentially be able to circumvent normal planning procedures and secure permission via the Planning Inspectorate rather than CCC, the local planning authority. The legality of the WOFC’s claim is largely based on their assertion that the farm has steadily grown in size since before 2010.
