  • 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.

It fits a very typical pattern found elsewhere along the Downs, that of large dense coppice woodlands on the deeper sand and clay soils on the ridge tops, and smaller shaws comprising mixed woodland and scrub on the south facing chalk slopes. ______________________________________________________________________ WPG MPTemplate V3.1 issued 11.06.22 | Grants & Regulations | 1 Woodland Management Plan 1.3 History of Management The ancient woodlands on the site appear to have been actively coppiced for many years. Great Wood (dominating the northern half of the site), along with Magpie Shaw, Head Barn Wood and Merrals Shaw, were almost entirely replanted with Sweet Chestnut at some time in the past, perhaps around the end of the 1700s, and have undoubtedly been managed as coppice since that time. Great Wood once formed part of the Cobham Hall Estate, and the western part (Birch Wood) was once included within the landscaped park; most of the remaining large parkland trees in this area were probably felled and removed in the 1960s immediately prior to the land being sold.

  • 113. North Kent Plain Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    National Character 113. North Kent Plain Area profile: Supporting documents www.gov.uk/natural-england 1 National Character 113. North Kent Plain Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we North are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are East areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good Yorkshire decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • LISTS of POSTCARDS Introduction the Core of the Society's Collection
    LISTS OF POSTCARDS Introduction The core of the Society’s collection of Snodland postcards and pictures was formed by Gerald Edgeler (1910-1998) and bequeathed to Andrew Ashbee, and has since been supplemented by many gifts and purchases. New images continue to appear, but this catalogue shows what we have and know about and will be updated from time to time. Over time many of the cards appeared in more than one guise – changed captions, with and without captions, changed layout, coloured or sepia or black and white, and so on. The draft list of Snodland topographical cards is arranged according to the numbering in the Society’s catalogue. Alfred Nethersole Hambrook (1876-1955) was a stationer in Snodland from 1901 until the late 1940s, selling stationery, toys and china knick-knacks at his shop in the High Street. (Apparently he also had another shop in the upper High Street for a time which is shown in the images, but no details have come to light.) He had a printing works in May Street where he produced what was required locally and where he also manufactured his postcards, assisted by his brother Percy. The latter were of many kinds and included series made for shops in several Kent villages, which often had the name of the shop-keeper on them rather than Hambrook’s own. For a time Hambrook was also Managing Director of Stedman & Co in West Malling and many of their early 20th century cards bear the same style as his Snodland ones. Most of these are labelled Stedman, but a few have ‘Stedman and Hambrook’.
