................................................................................................................12 i 106572.01 London Paramount Entertainment Resort, Swanscombe, Kent Historic Landscape Characterisation This historic landscape characterisation has shown that the overriding historic character of the Project Site London Paramount Entertainment Resort and Study Area is one of extensive settlement, industrial and former extractive areas (including gravel and Swanscombe chalk quarries) which, although containing nationally significant archaeological remains of various dates, show only partial or fragmentary historic legibility of previous characters and limited time depth. Kent The largescale settlement, industrial and extractive areas of the landscape are generally confined to the area north of the A2. To the south of the A2 the historic landscape is mostly rural and dominated by Historic Landscape Characterisation agricultural land. Considerable time depth and historic legibility has been identified within Darenth, with many of the woodland areas of the landscape, particularly Darenth Wood, having medieval origins. Medieval and later woodland previously dominated the wider landscape, and while much has been Summary removed (such as at Swanscombe and Southfleet), it remains partially in its original form (together with Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Savills on behalf of London Resort Company Holdings Limited areas of re-instated woodland) in Darenth. This adds to the significance of the historic landscape of this to complete the archaeology and cultural heritage chapter of an Environmental Impact Assessment. This area as its importance on a regional level is recognised, and is considered

At present the New Barn residential area is split between Dartford Borough, Sevenoaks District and Gravesham Borough; the part situated in Dartford is in the parish of ^outhfleet; the part in Sevenoaks is in the parish of Longfield, whilst the part in Gravesham is unparished. On 30 November 1979» Gravesham Borough Council requested ue to review the boundaries between the districts of Gravesham, Dartford and Sevenoaks in the vicinity of New Barn. Their request was in response to representations from the New Barn Ratepayers Association for the whole of the New Barn residential area to be incorporated within Gravesham Borough. The Association based their representations on a survey of opinion which they carried out in 1978 among the residents of New Barn on the question of whether the area should be under one authority, and if so, which one. The results indicated that a majority (8?#) of residents indicating a view preferred to see New Barn under one authority and a large proportion (6990 of these considered that this should be Gravesham. 2. We noted that Kent County Council, Dartford Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council, and Longfield Parish Council were all opposed to a review beinp undertaken at that time, although Kent County Council and Dartford BOrough Council did a^ree that the current boundaries in the New Barn area were not wholly satisfactory.

NOTES ON BEITISH EOMAN AND SAXON EEMAINS THEBE EOUND. BY E. C. J. SPURRELL. STONE IMPLEMENTS. WHEN the Kent Archaeological Society met at Dartford, in 1868, the knowledge and study of the more ancient stone implements was in an early stage; almost in its infancy, being, so far as this country was concerned, barely ten years old. And as those stone implements were not commonly accepted as the work of man, they were looked upon doubtfully by the old antiquary: and because one class of them came out of deep cuttings in the ground, and from stalagmite caverns, they were left to geologists as " fossils; " regarding that word as dismissing the matter into the domain of geology. Yet, for all that, the recognition of the earliest palaeolithic implements, as human workmanship is due to Englishmen's acumen; and although the study was revived in Erance, it was consolidated into a science by the investigation of Englishmen once agaim In our own district, that is, about ten miles round Dartford, quite as much attention has been paid to the matter as in any spot in the world, and with a greater success than anywhere else in determin- ing certain controverted points; such as the reality of human agency in the formation of implements, and the larger grasp of the subject consequent on the minute search which has traced them continuously through a greater range in elevation and consequently of age.

This recording exercise forms a detailed survey of the extant tramway tunnels at Historic England Level 3 (English Heritage 2006a). The wider site was subject to a Level 1 record, for contextual purposes. A desk-based assessment has previously been produced for the site by Archaeology South-East (ASE 2005). The site was established as a quarry in the early 20th century, forming part of the Swanscombe Works. The Swanscombe Works was one of the largest cement producers throughout the 20th century, and at its closure in 1990 was the oldest cement producer in the world.

  • Update on Planning Enforcement Issues PDF 245 KB
    Update on Planning Enforcement Issues Item 7 Report by Head of Planning Applications Group to the Regulation Committee on 28th January 2020. Summary: Update for Members on planning enforcement matters. Recommendation: To endorse the actions taken or contemplated on respective cases. Unrestricted Introduction 1. This report provides an update on planning enforcement and monitoring work carried out by the Planning Applications Group since the 25 September 2019 Regulation Committee Meeting. 2. As part of the reporting format, alleged unauthorised sites are considered by Members as exempt items, for information purposes, strategy and endorsement. This helps to protect the content of any planning enforcement approaches being taken, which we may subsequently rely upon in court and legal actions. 3. This report summarises alleged unauthorised activity. There is a further exempt report within (Item 10) of these papers with an attached schedule, containing restricted details of cases. However, a list of the cases covered in the schedule is given under paragraph 7 below. Report Content 4. This report covers planning enforcement objectives, in response to the nature and patterns of alleged contraventions. This in turn is complemented by information on new and impending legislation and modernising proposals for the development of the service within the overall vision and values of the County Council. 5. The current throughput of cases is included, with those the planning enforcement team are currently engaged in, leading or advising upon. These vary in their degree of complexity and challenge. The level of involvement of the County Council also varies, according to enforcement jurisdiction, legal technicalities and case management among the regulatory bodies.

We are mining historians – a unique blend of unlikely Kopposites. We are primarily archaeologists and carry out academic research into the history of underground features and associated industries. To do this, however, we must be practical and thus have the expertise to carry out exploration and sur- veying of disused mines. Such places are often more dangerous than natural caverns, but our members have many years experience of such exploration. Unlike other mining areas, the South East has few readily available records of the mines. Such records as do exist are often found in the most unlikely places and the tracing of archival sources is an ongoing operation. A record of mining sites is maintained and constantly updated as further sites are discovered.

  • How Limestone, Rocks, and Volcanic Ash Built the Modern World
    26/11/2017 The Rock Solid History of Concrete ALEXANDERVANLOON/WIKIMEDIA The Rock Solid History of Concrete By Jonathan Schifman Oct 12, 2017 1.5k HOW LIMESTONE, ROCKS, AND VOLCANIC ASH BUILT THE MODERN WORLD. The story of concrete is so ancient that we don't even know when and where it begins. It is a story of discovery, experimentation, and mystery. Emperors and kings became legends for erecting great concrete structures, some of which are still a mystery to engineers today. Many of history's most skilled architects found inspiration in slabs of the gray building material. Common bricklayers advanced the technology, and a con man played a crucial role in the development of concrete recipes. Today, the world is literally filled with concrete, from roads and sidewalks to bridges and dams. The word itself has become a synonym for something that is real and tangible. Press http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/a28502/rock-solid-history-of-concrete/ 1/22 26/11/2017 The Rock Solid History of Concrete your handprints into the sidewalk and sign your name to history. This is the story of concrete. The First Cement—and Maybe Concrete? Let's get this out of the way right here: cement and concrete are not the same thing. Cement, a mixture of powdered limestone and clay, is an ingredient in concrete along with water, sand, and gravel. Concrete's invention was made possible by the development of cement, and to trace the history of cement, we must trace the use of its components. ADVERTISEMENT - CONTINUE READING BELOW The earliest known use of limestone in a structure has been dated back about 12,000 years.
