About This Book

A guide combines careful topographical description and antiquarian anecdote while tracing the southeastern English seaboard from London suburbs downstream to the marshes and headlands. It visits riverside and seaside towns, harbours, castles, lighthouses and military works, records shipping, fishing and ferry practices, and recounts notable maritime incidents and local customs. Natural features such as sands, estuaries, capes and reclaimed marshland are described alongside accounts of smuggling, coastal defence, collieries, and evolving transport links. Illustrations and chapter-by-chapter sketches offer historical notes, architectural details, and practical impressions intended for walkers, tourists, and readers interested in regional history and coastal life.
