The author has placed the paper on the site for download for personal or academic use. Any other use must be cleared with the author of the paper who retains the copyright. Please email [email protected] for details regarding copyright clearance. The Kent Archaeological Society (Registered Charity 223382) welcomes the submission of papers. The details can be downloaded from the website. Introduction The set of chalk caves known as Margate Caves have been a popular tourist attraction since the 1860s when they were first opened to the public as ‘Vortigern’s cavern’. In 2004, the Caves were closed due to Health and Safety issues and access to the site is now prohibited, the long-term future of the Caves being uncertain. This short paper is based on a report prepared for the Heritage Developments Advisor of Thanet District Council by the writer in December 2008. Methodology As the Caves are not currently accessible this report has been prepared primarily from notes made during 1993 when the manager of the Caves at the time, Nikki Martin, planned to remove the accumulated debris that had been deposited down the well and clear out the shafts [or sumps] at the bottom of the so called dungeons. A small party of Kent Underground Research Group members volunteered to undertake these tasks and spent several weekends at the site¹. The writer was invited to attend and used the opportunity to conduct a modern underground survey using standard cave survey techniques [Fig 1].

  • The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken(
    ...................... - ..................................... = .................................................................... The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken( By DENNIS BAKER I HE home market was at least six times as valuable as the overseas market during the first half of the eighteenth century. The ratio could have been T much higher and one contemporary estimate even puts it at 32 to ~. Throughout the early modern period the vast bulk of this traffic concerned agri- cultural produce, for in I75o England was still a predominantly agricultural economy. 2 Marketing, nevertheless, remains one of the most neglected aspects of agri- cultural history? There is a dearth of suitable source material. We know much about the management of crops and livestock in the field, little about their journey beyond the farm gate. A thorough exploration of the various outlets leading from farm to consumer is a rare venture. More frequently we seek shelter in some terminological cul-de-sac like 'commercialized agriculture' or 'farming for the market'. Admittedly, in some regions the market outlets were few or fraught with hazards; such, for instance, was the difficult position of those who farmed the Midland clays, ill-drained and intractable. But others, more fortunately placed, could choose from a wide range of marketing possi- bilities; this held true, for example, over much of the eastern and home counties. The farmers of north-east Kent possessed a number of competitive advan- tages, but none more valuable than proximity to the markets both local and in London. This fertile belt of Kent stretches from Rainham in the west to the eastern extremities of Thanet, a distance of about 35 miles; it averages 8 miles or more in width.

  • Equality Analysis Template
    Kent County Council Equality Analysis/ Impact Assessment (EqIA) Directorate/ Service: Strategic and Corporate Service, Strategic Commissioning: Public Health Commissioning Name of decision, policy, procedure, project or service: The Flete Unit, Margate – Replacement Sexual Health Site Responsible Owner/ Senior Officer: Victoria Tovey, Lead Commissioner for Public Health Version: V0.2 Author: Matthew Wellard Pathway of Equality Analysis: - 2015 Project Advisory Group approval to identify an appropriate sexual health site in Thanet to meet the needs of the local area. - Undertaking of comprehensive sexual health needs analysis December 2017- March 2018 Summary and recommendations of equality analysis/impact assessment. Context In Thanet, specialist sexual health services are delivered over three separate sites each offering a service aspect during a part of the week. The sites are Newington Road Clinic, College Road Clinic and the Queen Elizabeth Queen Mother Hospital. None of the sites are fit for purpose due to a lack of facilities and/or capacity to offer an integrated sexual health service which can meet the needs of the Thanet population in one site. Aims The aim is to establish a new dedicated site for an integrated specialist sexual health service at the Flete Unit within the grounds of the Queen Elizabeth Queen Mother Hospital. This will consolidate the existing offer across the three existing sites and enhance the offer to the Thanet population. Summary of equality impact The impact of the service change from two of the sites will be minimal due to their close proximity to the new site. The third site, located in Ramsgate, is further afield however, the site is offering a limited level 2 sexual health services 2 days a week.

    Thanet District Council Local Plan Adopted July 2020 Thanet Local Plan Adopted July 2020 Foreword This Local Plan has taken a long time to produce under quite difficult circumstances, but I am pleased that we have now been able to adopt a new Local Plan for the district. I would like to thank all those council officers, elected councillors, members of the public and stakeholders who have contributed along the way. Our new Local Plan seeks to meet our housing needs, including affordable housing, but also to support the Thanet economy, including tourism and cultural industries, and ensure the provision of supporting services and infrastructure, such as schools, roads, health facilities and open space. The Plan also aims to protect the best of our natural environment, and enhance biodiversity across the district - including the international wildlife sites at the coast - and our historic environment. Thanet has approximately 2,000 Listed Buildings and 27 Conservation Areas, as well as other local heritage assets. The council has declared a Climate Emergency, and the Plan recognises the impact of climate change on all of us. Having an adopted Plan means that the council now has more control over the location, type and quality of development that happens in the District. Just as importantly, it will support the council’s wider vision for the area over the next few years. Of course, this is not the end of the story, and the council will soon need to embark on a review of the Plan. The year 2020 is now likely to be remembered as one of significant change, which we will need to take into account in that review.
