Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging history of the geography and communities of Kent from the earliest times to the present day.Kent, with its long coastline and its important geopolitical position close to London and continental Europe, and on major trading routes between Britain and the wider world, has had a very significant maritime history. This book covers a wide range of topics relating to that history from the earliest times to the present day. It sets Kent's varied coastline and waters in their geological and geographical context, showing how erosion and sediment deposition have contributed to the changing nature of maritime activities and populations. It examines Kent's strategic role in the defence of the country with the development and redevelopment of coastal defences, including four naval dockyards. It goes on to consider the supporting industries which grew up around the coastline, those which supplied raw materials and agricultural products from the county's hinterland, and its wider national and international trading links. It also discusses the diverse coastal communities of Kent and how they have changed in response to the demands of defence, trade, and changing population and migration patterns. In addition, the book includes detailed case studies which explore particular subject areas as exemplars of the major themes covered by the book.l trading links.

It was made possible by the public spirit of the writers and publishers, to whom the Editor expresses his indebtedness. No town in England has a record of war work comparable with that of Folkestone. The coast-line from Dover to Hythe forms a strategic point of vital importance. It was not only the nearest to the fighting line, but the key-position to England. Looking back, it is wonderful to observe how little it suffered and how nobly it bore the strain of continual anxiety.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folkestone and Dover At no season does Folkestone cease to be Charm ing. Thus did a much-travelled American some years ago pay tribute to one of the chief of the south of England watering-places, a town which, if it has little that is old to show and no very' striking history to tell, thoroughly serves its purpose as a watering-place and healthful holiday resort. Many thousands Of visi tors from London and other parts of England every year make Folkestone the spot in which they seek Change from the year's work in healthful rest and play, and hnd - in its striking situation, its beautiful air - that which they seek. I always go to Folkestone l have more than once heard from people when the perennial topic of the annual holiday has come up, and the words are an eloquent tribute to the attractions of the place. Many of our 'cross-channel neighbours, too, have found its Cliffs and shores, inland villages and diversified countryside an attractive contrast to the low coast, the sand dunes, and the broad fiat stretches of sand of their own Pas de Calais. During the autumn of 1914, when the outbreak of the Great War led to the devastating of Belgium and parts of north-eastern France by the troops of Germany, Folkestone became the landing-place and temporary asylum of thousands of refugees driven from their homes. Many of these, it may well be believed, after peace has restored them to those homes, will come again in kindlier times to the pleasant coast on which they found a welcome in the time of their agony and terror.
