  • Clarion We Reported on the Renewed Interest in an Airport in the Thames Estu- Ary to Replace Heathrow As a Major Hub Airport
    Our Community— Autumn Forward Together Edition 2012 Building on Jubilee Success Despite the rainy weather the Jubilee events in both Cliffe and Cliffe Woods were still a great success. In Cliffe Woods this was the first community event in many years and has inspired the Community Association to organise other events throughout the year and an Annual Summer Fair. (see page 2 for details). In Cliffe the early Jubilee event meant there was no Cliffe Fayre this year, but an extra event is planned for Saturday 27th October at the Buttway and Church—see inside for more details. The success of these events are also down to the support of local vil- L lagers like yourselves. It is this that makes it worthwhile—can you help with future events? Estuary Airport Update In the last edition of the Clarion we reported on the renewed interest in an airport in the Thames Estu- ary to replace Heathrow as a major hub airport. There has been publicity for an island in the Thames (Boris Island) and also at Grain (Foster’s Folly), but less for a proposal that sites the airport between Cliffe and High Halstow. We were promised consultation (again) in the spring, but this was delayed until after the London Mayor- al Elections in May. They were then planned for the summer but postponed to avoid the Olympics, Alt- hough many people expected they would finally get underway in the Autumn there has been a further delay so that the conclusions are not published until after the 2015 General (and Local) Elections., so we Clarion will be watching out for ‘calls for evidence’ and ‘scoping’ reports which often start the process.

  • HOLBOROUGH a Hill and a Hollow
    HOLBOROUGH A Hill and a Hollow Holborough is part of the parish of Snodland. In a charter purporting to date from 838 AD it is called Holanbeorge. The old English beorge denotes a hill or mound, especially a burial mound, while Hol correspondingly refers to a hollow. The hill, alas, is no more, having been quarried for its chalk in the fifty years or so from the 1920s to the 1970s. Rather more than 200 feet high and separate from the main range of the North Downs it was attractive to early inhabitants as a special place. At its summit they created a prehistoric ring ditch with a diameter of about 100 feet.1 It is thought that this ditch was perhaps part of the construction of a round barrow, which formerly incorporated a mound or bank. No trace of a burial was found at the centre of the circle, which may originally have been laid directly on to the chalk at ground level and have been dispersed later as the ground was ploughed and re-ploughed. Some bones found in the ditch may be human, suggesting that there was a secondary burial. The uppermost layers of the ditch contained various types of pottery fragments ranging from the Late Bronze Age (around 1000 BC) to Roman times.2 Confirmation that there were people living at Holborough so early came during an archaeological survey by the Canterbury Archaeological Trust in 2004-5, funded by Berkeley Homes prior to housing development, in a cornfield near the main road.3 A major round-house building was identified, and post holes elsewhere showed other circular, square and retangular structures.
