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.

It takes in the Isle of Sheppey w hich is connected to the mainland by tw o bridges at Sw ale. It is the longest coastline in Kent. 4.4.1.2 Approximately 55 km is on PRoWs, 27 km is de facto access (though some is difficult walking) and 33 km is inaccessible to w alkers. The majority of the 27 km of inaccessible coast does not appear to be excepted land. From the Coastal Access aspect it is the most complicated coastline in Kent. Part of the mainland route is along the Saxon Shore Way. 4.4.1.3 The view to seaw ard at the start is over the Medw ay estuary. There are extensive saltings and several uninhabited islands. The route then follows the River Sw ale to Sheppey and back to the Medw ay Estuary. The north and east coasts of Sheppey look out to the Thames Estuary.

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.

This Neighbourhood Plan is submitted by the parish councils of Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk, in Kent, both being qualifying bodies as defined by the Localism Act 2011. The parishes were designated as a Neighbourhood Area under the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012, Part 2, and Section 6 by Swale Borough Council on 19th September 2013. Strategically, the message of this Plan is that both the villages feel they are under siege. The pressure comes from two directions – increased traffic and proposed housing developments. Traffic: We sit at the head of the bottleneck leading to the Channel ports; Brenley Corner is among the nation’s blackest of black spots and, given the increasing demands of heavy goods vehicles travelling between the continent and the UK, the pressure on the through roads and country lanes and lay-bys, can only get worse. The quality of the air we breathe will also be affected.

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.

Biodiversity Opportunity Area Statement Name: North Kent Marshes
Biodiversity Opportunity Area Statement Name: North Kent Marshes Description: The North Kent Marshes are designated, almost in their entirety, as SSSI, SPA and/or Ramsar, and are of national and international importance for breeding and overwintering bird populations. The area includes three areas recommended to be Marine Conservation Zones: the Thames Estuary rMCZ, (on hold) which provides critical spawning and nursery grounds for fish, the Medway Estuary MCZ, designated for a range of estuarine habitats as well as for the tentacled lagoon worm and The Swale Estuary rMCZ (under consultation), supporting seagrass and mussel beds and rich muddy gravels. The opportunity area also includes a few LWSs such as the Diggs and Sheppey Court Marshes near Queenborough, Graveney Dykes and Pasture, Minster Marshes and Minster Cliffs. Much of this Biodiversity Opportunity Area is included in the Greater Thames Estuary Nature Improvement Area. National Character Area(s): Greater Thames Estuary Kent Landscape Character Area(s): Eastern Thames Marshes, Hoo Peninsula, Medway Marshes, Swale Marshes, North Sheppey and Eastern Swale Marshes. Landscape Character: An open and remote landscape characterised by grazing marsh associated with wetlands. Fields are bounded by creeks and ditches – many of which have a long history, creating a distinctive pattern. These landscape features support salt marsh and intertidal mudflats stretching from the River Thames estuary in the west to the Swale Estuary in the east. Settlements and roads are limited in this area, low but prominent hills typically with settlements or copses of trees. Saltmarsh extends inland along creeks and drainage dykes and in places grazing marsh has been converted to arable cultivation.
