New Airport Group Support Jobs on the Romney Marsh issue 9_Layout 1 02/01/2011 21:29 Page 1 The Looker The Community Newspaper for the Romney Marsh Edition 9 New Airport Group Support Jobs on the Romney Marsh A new organisation to support the redevelopment of Lydd Airport has been formed to back up the excellent work being done by FLAG. Robin Gordon, Chairman of SOLA (Supporters Of Lydd Airport) called for a new approach from local society to emphasise the benefits that a revitalised airport can bring to the local area. He pointed out that regional airports on the south coast such as Southampton, Bournemouth, Exeter and Plymouth are valued by local communities and valuable gateways to the region. With the pending public inquiry these matters must be taken up and debated by all who live and work in the area. Tim Crompton, speaking for SOLA said “We will be concentrating on the community benefits of the redevelopment, the jobs created, the businesses Are there any jobs here???

  • When and Why Tenterden Became a Member of the Confederation of Cinque Ports
    Tenterden and District Newsletter Local History Society No. 31 September 2017 Founded 25th November 1955 When and Why Tenterden became a Member of the Confederation of Cinque Ports Presently there are fourteen Corporate members of the Confederation of the Cinque Ports. Why fourteen when the Old French word “cinque” means five. The first recorded occasion when the original five Head Ports of Hastings, Romney, Hythe, Dover and Sandwich were mentioned together is in Charter of Edward the Confessor of 1050. Rye and Winchelsea were initially limbs of Hastings but when that port was seriously affected by the loss of its harbour Rye and Winchelsea now called the “Two Antient Towns” were promoted to the status of Head Port in the Reign of King John. This created seven Head Ports which in their turn also sought assistance from nearby communities. The Cinque Ports were given many powers including the right to self government, independent legal jurisdiction and equally importantly exemption from national taxation. In return for assistance many communities were granted some of the benefits of their Head Port. At times there have been over forty such members. In other cases the assistance was recognised by the grant of a charter and there are currently seven such towns namely Deal, Faversham, Folkestone, Lydd, Margate, Ramsgate and Tenterden. These together with the Head Ports appoint the Lord Warden at a Court of Shepway. For many centuries the Court of Shepway was the equivalent of a Shire Court presided over by a Sheriff. The Cinque Ports fell outside of any County for many legal purposes.

  • THE THANET SEAPORTS, 1650-1750 by JOHN H
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 66 1953 THE THANET SEAPORTS, 1650-1750 By JOHN H. ANDBEWS NEITHER Margate, Broadstairs nor Ramsgate was recognized as a fully-fledged port by the Customs Commissioners during the period covered by this article. Waiters and Searchers of the Customs Service were stationed at all three ports to supervise the loading and discharg- • ing of goods; but there were no legal quays for the transaction of foreign trade, and no cargo could be handled in Thanet without docu- ments obtained from the Customs Collector at Sandwich.1 In 1731 the inhabitants of Margate complained of the inconveniences arising from this position, but without success.2 Certainly their complaint had some foundation, for Margate had a thriving trade, and in the past several smaller Kentish ports, such as Hythe and Folkestone, had enjoyed greater privileges. For the historian the most serious conse- quence of this dependent status is the almost complete absence of commercial statistics for the Thanet ports. Their trade and shipping were recorded with those of the port of Sandwich, and it is a difficult and often an impossible task to distinguish between the different ports. Thus T. S. Willan, in his English Coasting Trade, 1600-1750, treats the Sandwich Port Books as if they related only to the port of Sandwich, and makes no mention of Thanet, although he discusses quite insigni- ficant ports like Folkestone, Hythe and Romney. THE HAKBOURS AND SHIPS OF THANET The harbours of Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate were all of the- same type : a single curved pier excluding winds and waves from the most dangerous direction, the north-east.
