Maritime Kent Through the Ages

Maritime Kent Through the Ages

The Boydell Press
2021
sidottu
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.

East Kent Road Car Company Ltd: Services of the Golden Jubilee Era

East Kent Road Car Company Ltd: Services of the Golden Jubilee Era

Richard Wallace

The Crowood Press Ltd
2019
sidottu
East Kent - Services of the Golden Jubilee Era takes the reader on a journey along the routes of all the stage-carriage services operated by East Kent in 1968, just after the Company celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 1966/7 and immediately prior to the National Bus Company (NBC) taking full control. Supported by over two hundred and fifty photographs, most not published before, of nearly every bus route as well as most London express services and all the operational garages, this book reveals the contrasting nature of East Kent's services from rural byways to the seasonal, but very busy routes serving the still-popular resorts around the Kent coast. It includes a comprehensive fleet list and details a specimen allocation of cars to each service on a typical day in 1968; local route maps of all major town services as well as a sectionalised reproduction of the original East Kent network map of 1968 and, finally, a summary of the Centenary celebrations of 2016.

I pray that this book of the main points of my life, not including the angelic experiences in my book on angels will help people to see what is real in their lives. Alternatively, how people can have a chance to do what they were intended to do in their lives, even though bad people can be in their lives to try to intercept their calling in this life. Do your best to create and recreate what it is that GOD speaks of you to do as a child, even though adverse circumstances may have garbled the calling in your life. Pick up and go on to the great place of happiness that GOD wants everyone to have that understands the relationship that the Highest Father GOD wants for all who become to know him on a daily basis. Prayer and learning to love others can help to love yourself, even though they may not love you, in return. Remember the Golden Rule of Jesus, and Jesus spoke that it is not right to believe in an "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth' even though you have been wronged by someone learning to love your enemies. Please read (I Thessalonians 5:15) Remember that the first day of the rest of our lives on this planet starts today, and tomorrow can only become by what you do today. Believe in yourself, GOD, and others, and eventually peace and happiness will be yours, with years of discipline overlooking any abuse you may have received by others. When we pass on, with the exception of the Christ returning to this planet, we will only take our spirit beyond this body and not the people and things we have accumulated over time. The next life beyond this life on this planet is of glorious measures by your attitude toward the love your Father and mother within the heavens. The Father talked about by the Christ is a being of joy and love with a body and spirited creation, with a female counterpart within every part of this place called the universe Whoever you are, whatever your age, the rest of your life begins right now. What you do with it is up to you, but after reading this book, I would hope that you would have a new mission in life, for here and beyond the realms of this existence Many times in life, we do not accept truth, because it is something we do not want to hear. Sometimes we have to change too much, to make truth a part of our lives. If we fear change, we reject truth for it is a bad trade off Remember that Jesus the Christ walked the earth to speak the truth and He was rejected by most all people, for when you are brainwashed by false information it is a real test of change to accept real life truths When you feel ready after reading this book, pray this prayer of change. Dear Father and creator of this universe, I may have had some setbacks in my life, but I will not let the setbacks control the outcome of my life in my days to come. I will allow you Father, to help and guide me from this day forward not looking back, but only forward to the perfected will of my life that should only be of a positive and loving attitude toward others and me. Please help me to see any abuse that may be around the corner by others by allowing me to have a spirit of love and discernment seeing the real motives of others. I want a perfected heart of love from now and until the suns of the universe stop shining, if this could ever happen I want my soul to shine like the sun (Amen) I HAD AN EXTRATERRESTRIAL EXPERIENCE AT AGE 5, AND 54, AND TWO ANGELIC EXPERIENCES TALKED ABOUT IN THIS BOOK, ALONG WITH OTHER VERY EYE OPENING THINGS that happened in my life. Please check out my website at: www.rickkentbooks.com, also, Author Central with Kindle Direct Publishing. Look for Rick Kent on (YOU-TUBE) in the future, for various talks on various subjects of great interest related to creation, and why we are here on planet Earth I believe that the best chapter of the Bible is (I Corinthians 13) for read and do, what the chapter says, and your soul will be renewed, and you will be happier

East Kent at War

East Kent at War

David G. Collyer

Nonsuch Publishing
2009
nidottu
During the Second World War, East Kent was at the forefront of the defence of the United Kingdom. In 1940 the ports of Dover, Ramsgate, Folkestone and Margate took part in the Dunkirk evacuation, while airfields such as Manston, Hawkinge and Lympne were active in refuelling aircraft involved in the Battle of Britain. It was also from Dover that the first steps for D-Day were initiated, with commando raids on French beaches from Royal Navy motor launches. German signals were monitored and subsequently jammed by a series of experimental units. Balloons launched from Kingsdown carried leaflets to enemy territory, while others defended harbours and factories from dive bombers. Throughout the remainder of the war, including the defence against the V1 flying bomb attacks of the summer of 1944 and the supply of both men and material to the Allies as they advanced through Europe, East Kent played a vital role.

William Kent

William Kent

Timothy Mowl

Pimlico

pokkari
William Kent (1685-1748) was great without a hint of gravitas, a con man who became one of the artistic geniuses of his age. He was a high camp Yorkshire bachelor, brought back by Lord Burlington from an artistic apprenticeship in Rome where he had painted for a cardinal and won prizes from a pope. In London he charmed the surly old Hanoverian King George I, redecorated Kensington Palace for him with a clumsy bravura, and survived the subsequent critical storm - just. England was in stylistic chaos after rejecting its lawful Stuart rulers and Burlington was imposing a chaste and dreary Palladianism on a philistine island people. Kent saw his chance and never looked back.Queen Caroline, the real ruler, used him to project in sensational garden buildings by the Thames at Richmond her vision of a new scientific Britain. Sir Robert Walpole paid him to turn Houghton Hall in Norfolk into an imperial palace, outshining anything the German monarchs could raise. Another prime minister, the virtuous Henry Pelham, built with Kent a revolutionary suburban bolt-hole in Surrey. Between them they invented the Gothic Revival out at Esher, but have never been given the credit.Late in life, while raising an alabaster temple to Jupiter at Holkham Hall, also in Norfolk, and the sexiest interiors in London on Berkeley Square, Kent was discovering his true genius, laying out casually at Esher, Stowe in Buckinghamshire and Rousham near Oxford, the Arcadian image of the 'English Garden' that would take the continent, even France, by storm as England's only original contribution to European culture.

The Kent and Sussex Weald

The Kent and Sussex Weald

Peter Brandon

Phillimore Co Ltd
2008
sidottu
The Wealds of Kent, Surrey and Sussex had detractors over almost all their history but are now regarded as embodying England at its most characteristically delightful. The author explores how places such as Ashdown Forest and wooded west Kent, which were long disliked and even feared, have come to be perceived as jewels of landscape for leisure and recreation. He also traces the unremitting labour of generations of the region's small farmers to clear and settle a great expanse of wild country that has resulted in one of the most notable pieces of man's handiwork in Europe, and which has persisted to an astonishing degree relatively unchanged over a course of some eight centuries or more.This human story began as a saga of man against forest and continued as one of the interaction of man with trees - cared for to provide shipbuilding timber and fuel; to sustain the region's handicrafts; saved from the forester's axe to provide sporting pleasures and planted in pineta, arboreta and 'wild gardens' by Victorian and Edwardian 'nouveaux riches'. This book will enrich the enjoyment of those who reside in the Weald or live in sight of it and is essential reading for those whose interest in it is as landowner, farmer, ecologist, planner, conservationist, councillor or local historian.

The 'Colonel Stephens' network of eccentric and impecunious light railways have long held a fascination for railway enthusiasts, including those too young to remember their operation. This A4 softback album is the second in a two part series focussing on the two of the Colonels' railways to have been preserved (coincidentally both in Kent), by well known railway writer and photographer Jonathan James. This second volume looks at the long established Kent & East Sussex Railway, and showcases the unique character and charm of this popular heritage railway.

The Kent and Sussex Ramblers Guide to the Wealdway

The Kent and Sussex Ramblers Guide to the Wealdway

Robert Peel

RAMBLERS' ASSOCIATION
2023
nidottu
The Wealdway is an exceptionally fine walk running 82 miles from Gravesend on the Thames Estuary to Beachy Head and Eastbourne on the south coast. It crosses the North Downs, the Greensand ridge, the Medway valley (twice), the High Weald (including Ashdown Forest), the Low Weald and the South Downs. This is quintessential English countryside with rolling downs, archetypal village greens on which cricket has been played for centuries, deep wooded valleys and traditional pubs. History abounds with numerous furnace and hammer ponds reminding us of the iron industry that characterised the Weald in the times of the Tudors and Stuarts and many fine old houses constructed of materials that vary along the route with the underlying geology. Despite its proximity to many towns and with London not far away, much of the route has a surprisingly remote feel to it. The book offers a full description of the route, newly-drawn maps at 1:25,000 scale, background information on geology, history and landscape evolution and numerous illustrations, all in full-colour.

Beryl Kent and the Bleeding Man

Beryl Kent and the Bleeding Man

sidottu
In this cozy mystery, Major Crimes Unit Rudy Beauregard is frustrated and suffering at the specter of investigative loss of control. Called to an assault of an unknown man, who is later identified as a well-known Atlanta Attorney Jed Mattias, the Captain meets citizen Beryl Kent on whose property Jed is found bleeding profusely from his chest. The lady Beryl is run down by the bleeding man who falls on her. She is now a witness and in her mind a victim of someone's devious deeds, leaving Mattias under her protection. Beauregard is impatient with her nosiness in what is a police matter. He and his detectives agree; Beryl is a most intrusive citizen. On her own dime, Beryl flies out to Austin, Texas to locate Mattias' daughter who is missing. Within a day, the West Side detectives investigate a two-person fatality car accident. Suspicions mount. It is not an accident. The location of the accident raises speculations since another car and truck are involved. The trucker insists he was not at fault and brings in, to Beauregard's chagrin, noted defense counsel Norberto Cull. Cull and Beauregard have history, often on opposite sides of legal issues leaving Beauregard regularly reminding the illustrious attorney where the line is in police matters. COVID-19 issues and Beauregard's own auto accident leaving him with a severe leg injury create additional havoc in what is now three investigations, two of which are murder. Two additional attempts are made to kill the almost comatose Mattias while he is in the hospital and at Beryl's guarded home. It is not too long before Beauregard gets insight into the bigger picture with Beryl's assistance. Is this all part of a money-laundering scheme including art theft? Beryl, first, and then the detectives, visit her neighbors on the hill, who hopefully with their birds-eye view of her home, have information on the first assault. One neighbor is retired Colonel Nathan Connault. The Colonel gives Beryl inside information. She shares the info with the Captain, who now is recuperating from his injuries and annoyed to be one-upped by her. Since she was sworn to secrecy, Beryl will not reveal her source. The Christmas season brings Beryl's adult children to town who have their own interest in protecting her. Beryl's son Oliver does some run-downs on the Colonel, who clearly in Oliver's mind, has a personal interest in his mother other than in the investigations. Beryl he feels, as a three-time widow, needs protection from romance. Beryl truly hopes the Colonel is legitimate. Her lifetime relational experiences have made her deeply suspicious and at times cynical. The discovery that Jed Mattias' law partner was killed in an unusual accident creates additional questions. With both senior partners of the elite Georgia law firm out of commission, police hope that junior and managing partner Grace Grantley's offer of Jed's diary for the previous weeks before his assault will assist in recalling Jed's lost memory. A non-profit Georgia entrepreneurial scam surfaces with links to western Massachusetts and a French art dealer who is Beryl's neighbor on the hill. The plot and characters are diverse. Beauregard with reluctance uses his team, Beryl Kent, Norbie Cull, and the Colonel to bring about solving the money laundering, attempts at murder, and multiple murder cases using a concert of their skills. An in-depth review of Grace Grantley's personal history highlights her as the hub in the multiple spokes of murder, assault, art theft, and money laundering. She is a sociopath who has married one sociopath and met another, but as in the animal world, she is the alpha dog. Beauregard uses the cohesive interplay of citizens as sleuths to again solve major crimes before the FEDS take over his assault and attempted murder case. He sincerely wishes Beryl Kent will stay out of his business in the future.
