Environment Agency FOREWORD Welcome to the Local Environment Agency Plan (LEAP) for the Medway Catchment. This LEAP examines issues specific to the catchment in support of the more strategic and broader-based issues identified in the Kent Area LEAP. One of the fundamental objectives of the LEAP process is to involve all interested parties in working with the Agency in planning for the future well being of the local environment, ensuring decisions on the future management of the LEAP area are based on a range of views from interested parties. As a result, this document has been produced after public consultation following the launch of the Consultation Draft in February 1999. We are grateful to the many people who responded to the draft document. Their comments have enabled us to evaluate the issues raised in the original report and refine them into an action plan framework which sets out the work that the Agency intends to carry out in the Catchment in partnership with others over the next 5 years.

  • The Cuckmere River
    ■ NRA Southern 31 THE CUCKMERE RIVER NRA National Rivers Authority Southern Region Guardians of the Water Environment THE CUCKMERE RIVER COURSE ITie many rivulets which form the headwaters of the Cuckmere River rise 20 miles from the coast in the Heathfield ridgeway. From this southern ridge of the high Weald, some 130 metres above sea level, streamlets combine to form the major headstreams. The true source of the Cuckmere rises in the north of Heathfield Park, just below the ridge road. It feeds the lakes of the park and then flows south. 'Phe name Cuckmere is a Saxon word meaning “fast flowing water” perhaps reflecting that in its 7 kilometres, the river falls 100 metres. It collects first the Flitterbrook from the east and next the Waldron Gill from Horam and Vines Cross to the west. The river then hooks westward, towards its " ' T T 1! -^vci uic n u u ic s, longshore drift ( the tendency for shingle to be driven from west to east by the prevailing south west winds ) had forced the mouth of the river eastwards. The shingle bar formed by the drift forced the river against the first of the Seven Sisters until it blocked the mouth. The river was then obliged to break through at a new point and spit formation began again. In 1946, man intervened. A straight cut was made to bypass the meanders of the tidal river. This lessened flooding in the valley and gave the river more strength to combat deposition. The banks of the new river mouth were secured by artificial embankments.

  • A CRITICAL EVALUATION of the LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD of the CHALK UPLANDS of NORTHWEST EUROPE Lesley
    A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE LOWER-MIDDLE PALAEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE CHALK UPLANDS OF NORTHWEST EUROPE The Chilterns, Pegsdon, Bedfordshire (photograph L. Blundell) Lesley Blundell UCL Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD September 2019 2 I, Lesley Blundell, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: 3 4 Abstract Our understanding of early human behaviour has always been and continues to be predicated on an archaeological record unevenly distributed in space and time. More than 80% of British Lower-Middle Palaeolithic findspots were discovered during the late 19th/early 20th centuries, the majority from lowland fluvial contexts. Within the British planning process and some academic research, the resultant findspot distributions are taken at face value, with insufficient consideration of possible bias resulting from variables operating on their creation. This leads to areas of landscape outside the river valleys being considered to have only limited archaeological potential. This thesis was conceived as an attempt to analyse the findspot data of the Lower-Middle Palaeolithic record of the Chalk uplands of southeast Britain and northern France within a framework complex enough to allow bias in the formation of findspot distribution patterns and artefact preservation/discovery opportunities to be identified and scrutinised more closely. Taking a dynamic, landscape = record approach, this research explores the potential influence of geomorphology, 19th/early 20th century industrialisation and antiquarian collecting on the creation of the Lower- Middle Palaeolithic record through the opportunities created for artefact preservation and release.

  • 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.
