Dymchurch Martello Tower No 24 KENT
English Heritage Dymchurch Martello Tower No 24 KENT J G LOAD MA, FSA Inspector of Ancient Monuments Between 1793 and 1815 Britain was at War with the French Republic. After his campaigns in Italy, Egypt and Syria, Napoleon Bonaparte began extensive preparations to invade England. To counter the threatened invasion, the English built a chain of 74 Martello gun-towers along the Channel shores of Kent and East Sussex between 1805 and 1812. Of those that survive today, the Martello tower at Dymchurch is perhaps the best preserved. Fully restored and open to the public, it is dominated by an original 24-pounder gun carrying the cipher of King George III.

The Peace of Amiens, signed in March 1802, had ended nine years of war with Revolutionary France, but Napoleon's territorial ambitions in Europe and elsewhere were to ensure that peace was short-lived. -

Serious Operating Irregularity at Romney Sands, 28 August 2019 Important Safety Messages
Serious operating irregularity at Romney Sands, 28 August 2019 Important safety messages This incident highlights the particular risk associated with the operation of single line railways which are worked with the tablet and ticket system. More generally the incident demonstrates the importance of: • using suitable communications protocols to help reach a clear understanding about what actions are required • recognising that while people are being trained, they may be more likely to make incorrect decisions, especially in situations which are outside the normal routine • having systems and processes in place which can provide additional safeguards when safe operations otherwise rely on the actions of people. Summary of the incident At around 10:37 hrs, a passenger train left Romney Sands station, Kent, on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway, going towards New Romney, and entered a single line section of track. When the train had travelled about 100 metres beyond the station, the driver saw another train coming towards him on the single line. He used the railway’s open channel radio system to send an emergency “stop” message, stopping his train as he did so. The driver of the other train heard the message and also stopped. The two trains came to a stand about 316 metres apart. No-one was hurt. Rail Accident Investigation Branch Safety digest 08/2019: Romney Sands Train 12 and the driver, stationmaster and trainee stationmaster in conversation at Romney Sands station before the incident (courtesy RHDR) Cause of the incident The single line section between New Romney and Romney Sands is two miles (3.2 km) long and is worked on the tablet and ticket system. -

Lydd and Walland Marsh This Area Is Locally Considered the Western End
Lydd and Walland Marsh This area is locally considered the western end of the Romney Marsh and is composed of six parishes and communities. Lydd Town, Dungeness and Lydd‐on‐Sea Lydd Town is an established community which traditionally included Dungeness and Lydd‐on‐Sea. As a corporate member of the Cinque Ports it acted as a source of wealth through both legal and illegal activities derived from its proximity to the coast, as did the requirement to provide ships for the sovereign’s military excursions. Today it acts as a “District Centre” in Shepway District Council’s core strategy, i.e it provides daily shopping facilities, a medical centre and has various commercial and industrial undertakings that provide for some local employment. To the east of the town is Lydd Airport which is presently subject to planning application for extension of its services. The number 11 bus service operates from Lydd Town to Lydd‐on‐Sea and Dungeness before serving the Marsh villages on its route to Ashford. The parishes of Snargate, Brookland and Brenzett are being organised as a “living” together with All Saints’ Church (Lydd) and St.Peter’s at Greatstone. The parish and town councils of the designated area of Lydd and Walland Marsh undertake some activities together and have made common cause with the higher local government tiers. Should the area be considered as a viable unit then it would allow for two councillors serving a ward of 6,168, a variance of 3.9% variance. 2013 2018 Lydd Town 2665 2864 Lydd‐on‐Sea 1172 1172 Dungeness 943 943 Total (a) 4780 4979 Old Romney 175 175 Brookland 367 395 Brenzett 281 302 Snargate 103 103 Ivychurch 214 214 Total (b) 1140 1189 Grand total 5920 6168 . -
